More birds are getting drunk in Minnesota town, police issue warning to residents.

https://globalnews.ca/news/4517514/drunk-birds-minnesota/

Police are alerting residents in a Minnesota town that more birds are getting drunk earlier this year and are appearing a little more “tipsy” than in the past.

Authorities in Gilbert warned citizens Tuesday of several reports of birds that appear to be “under the influence,” causing the winged animals to fly into windows, cars and acting “confused.”

One thing that's really cool about this is that, because neither the buyer nor Sotheby's was in on the prank, nobody really knows what's supposed to happen now. Auction houses are usually on the hook for damage that occurs to items in their custody but it's really not clear whether this counts or not. It might even be more valuable now. Who knows?

Well.... here's the thing: the buyer hasn't paid yet, right? So no money exchanged hands. They could find Banksy liable for whatever it costs to put stuff for auction, or lost commission, or whatever. It'll be funny if that's how he's finally unmasked after all these years.

He was already basically unmasked because his friend accidentally implied he's the dude from Massive Attack in an interview. Unless that was a diversion or there are multiple Banksys.

Once Banksy is exposed or die, a new one will take his/her place.

I've often wondered this. I assume there is a collective that anonymously coordinates projects to be done under the brand "Banksy." Or maybe it was like a few copycats in the beginning and became an unofficial shared project, or some poo poo. I don't know. But I definitely think Banksy is a concept rather than a single person.
