Bullets from heaven
A woman in my home town was hit by a bullet while sleeping. The strange thing is that this was a large caliber bullet that fell through the roof of her house, pierced her bedroom ceiling, and hit her in the chest as she slept next to her husband. Police believe that the bullet was fired into the air from somewhere near by. The women was not seriously injured.

"That is, if everything [artisticly] good has already been done and you have kept it in your museum permanently, you have a choice of buying something good and derivative - one more still life or fruit - or something bad and new - a statue made of condoms."
