So earlier today I was browsing the internet for interesting tidbits of info from online newspapers, cause that's obviously what I do in my spare time, and I came across a Damian Hirst auction at Sotheby's. Among the 223 items up for bid there is a golden calf that has been dumped in fermaldehide and decorated with 18-carat gold horns and hooves. It's going for more than 20 million dollars, what a waste. However, even more interesting is the collage of used cigarette butts, that's right they're used, selling for 27,000 dollars. That's the only non-election/economy/Palin/politics story that I happened to come across during my daily parousal of the day's news.
Also, did anyone else get blocked by the website when they logged on for the first time after creating their account. I got blocked because they though I was spam.
Anyways, that's that for today.
