Greetings fellow Bizarros:

Do you remember the scene in the movie 'The Aviator' where Lenny DiCaprio locks himself in his private movie theater for a year and fills up a bunch of mason jars with his urine? Now imagine the same thing except it's a college kid in his dorm room with semen.

Marc Bradly Johnson, an MFA student at New York's School of Visual Arts, had a great idea for his thesis project: he would fill 68 vials with his own semen, place them in a refrigerator in one of SVA's galleries, advertise the display on Craigslist, and then give away his semen to any interested members of the public.

Because it's art.

But, as the Daily Intelligencer reports, health-concerned administrators at SVA temporarily confiscated the project once it was brought to their attention.

"I've been working on this for months," Johnson told Daily Intelligencer, "Somewhat ironically - it's just masturbating and calling it artwork." He said his professors were well aware and that he'd shown the work multiple times in class critiques.

"This isn't unprecedented," he said. "There is plenty of bio-hazardous work in the art world."

So the refrigerator full of semen was seized and locked in an administrator's office until a waste-management firm could pick it up. Johnson claimed censorship, but was still amused. "I am happy that he had to sit with 68 vials of my cum in his presence," he said.

Bizarrely,
Lewis

*- Dog kicks gun; gun goes off; man's leg hit -*
SEBRING, Fla. - Memo to pet owners: Don't leave a gun on the floor of a truck where a dog could kick it and shoot you -- which is what happened to a Florida, man, police said. Sebring police said Gregory Dale Lanier, 35, of Frostproof was traveling in his truck when his dog kicked a gun on the truck's floor, shooting him in the leg, the Tampa Highlands Today reported. Sebring police ruled the shooting accidental. Lanier was not seriously injured. The dog wasn't arrested, pending an investigation, Sebring Police Cmdr. Steve Carr said, adding he never heard of a case like this. Lanier told investigators he thought the gun in his pickup truck was empty, Highlands Today said. He said that he was driving "when his dog kicked his ... .380 pistol causing it to fire and the bullet struck his leg. Lanier said he heard boom, saw smoke and felt a burning in his leg," the police report said.


*-- Thief steals cookies from Girl Scouts --*
SPARTANBURG, S.C. - A thief in South Carolina's Spartanburg County allegedly stole nearly $19,000 worth of Girl Scout cookies from a storage facility, police said. An incident report filed this week said the thief made off with 450 cases of Girl Scout cookies -- worth an estimated $18,900 -- from Carey Moving and Storage, Inc., WSPA-TV, Spartanburg, S.C., reported Wednesday. The cases contained about 5,400 boxes of cookies. Brian Carey, the owner of the storage company, said surveillance footage from the facility has been handed over to investigators, adding that his company performs strict drug and background checks and if it turns out that one of his employees was involved in the theft, such behavior won't be tolerated. Carey also he would order more cookies to help reimburse the Girl Scouts for the loss. A spokeswoman for the Girl Scouts of South Carolina said the cookies would have been sold at cookie booths across the 22 counties throughout the state. Proceeds from the cookie sales would have gone to help local scouts plan trips and organize community events.

Hi Lewis: the only things between us are criminals are police or a firearm, and when police take minutes to arrive, then I think that a firearm is a better choice- except in NY state, you are required to "flee your home" if a criminal is there to rob you, if he attacks you on the street the same applies, you are supposed to get away from the scum bag that wants to do you ill. So I would prefer FL or any state that the castle doctrine in effect. -barry
[I tried looking this up, but couldn't find anything on it. Can anybody tell me if there really is such a bizarre law in New York that requires a victim to "run away" from an attacker?]

Lewis, are you sure the last race the 101 year old man ran was a 10k and mot a 5k? It's either that or the time was 1 hr 32 min and 28 sec, and not just 32' 28". There is no way an old man of 101 can run close to a 5 minute pace for 6.2 miles; specially if it takes him over 8 hours to finish a marathon.
[Why don't you wait until you're 101 and try it?]

I agree it's stupid to store ammo in the oven, but I must add it's also pretty stupid turning on someone elses oven without looking inside first. People store all kinds of things in their ovens. Most of those things won't explode, but they can easily start a fire. -Dave
[I know what you're talking about, because frequently, when I have over-night guests over, I have to caution them about the cans of gasoline I keep in my oven, in case they want to make themselves breakfast.]
