That link dropped me into a random stumbleupon video. It was freaking hilarious, but had very little to do with architecture.

I got "the greatest prank call ever" and it too was hilarious! Telemarketer calls and supposedly stumbles on a murder crime scene investigation. The "cop" picks up the phone and proceeds to interrogate the telemarketer. Doesn't sound so funny, you had to be there I guess...

Richard Wilson is the artist, its called "Turning the Place Over" and the project was created in Liverpool for bags of money.

Europe rocks for public art. There are some serious civic budgets and audiences for contemporary art in German cities too.

I remember the amazing amount of "millennium funds" for artists in the UK and Germany.

The dip reflects softening values in some parts of the collector-car market but also shows how the auction is changing its focus, auction President Steve Davis said.

"The event that we just experienced was one of the most successful Barrett-Jackson ever had in its 37 years," Davis said. "Less cars, no multimillion-dollar consignments, no rock-and-roll memorabilia, more hobbyist-level consignments, all by design. And with a shaky economy, at best.

"With all those things, we still ended up with the third-highest sale in Barrett-Jackson history."

Auction experts were predicting a down year for the Valley's major collector-car auctions held last week because of a yearlong decline in the previously inflated prices of American muscle cars, which made up the fastest growing niche, and because of increasingly uncertain economic conditions.
