Holy Shit!

A version of Edvard Munch's classic painting "The Scream," valued at more than $100 million, was stolen from a museum in Oslo in broad daylight on Sunday. Oops.

I bet someone at the museum is going to be in serious fucking trouble come Monday morning.

I've heard that Munch based his picture on the observation deck at the Berkeley Pit.

Hmmm....I've heard that the background can be recognized as the Oslo Fjord seen from Ekeberg in Oslo.

Anne,

Pablo is making an inside joke. In the "Ever-Changing Miscellaneous Items of Interest" links section of my blog, I noted "Contaminated man-made lake in Butte makes an odd tourist attraction for Montana". Pablo and I went to university together, and the toxic lake in Butte in question is formally known as the Berkeley Pit. Pablo's questionable sense of humor is really meant only for my benefit. Sorry for the intrusion.

Wishful thinking from Pablo

Thanks, for explaining it so well, Rick. Sorry, Anne. Although, I did learn something.

Didn't someone steal a version of that painting almost ten years ago?
