The entire auction house was incinerated moments before thanks to the second stage of Banksy's prank, with several hundred gallons of petrol hidden in the walls and ceilings, causing a complete incineration of all pieces and people inside. The charged ashes and horror-posed skeletal remains are now part of a full street-art still-life diorama set and property to be auctioned this afternoon to the tune of several billion.

The only pictures and video i've seen are of it stuck half-shredded and extremely visible due to the wide strips. Boo banksy, that's 100% designed to be semi-performance art designed to increase its value

A shredder usually requires energy. Anyway, I'm the elite Sothesby's team in charge of item care that fails to notice a shredder attached to the thing we are meant to sell

This is an incredibly important issue to address. I'm not sure who said it first, but Carl Sagan asked readers of The Demon Haunted World to think about the value of making education available and how many Albert Einsteins have died in fields and factories because of the chance of where they're born. Many brilliant people have been drawn to some form of socialism because of the tragedy of circumstances limiting education and opportunity to people of every level of intelligence and ability.steinrokkan posted:lol

I used to think that you can literally sleep outside in the winter by just wearing a thick coat with thick gloves and pants, but then I had to walk for 20 minutes in a blizzard wearing thick clothes and couldn't feel my fingers by the end.

I mean, they wouldn't have missed the slot for the garbage to get ejected from. And the unusually thick frame that included a drat alarm and a mechanism for someone to remote trigger the thing Any good spooky Halloween capitalisms? Something like black Friday
