Well things are pickin up, work at Hollywood has been cut back severly sad *sighs* oh well. Life has been good, I await Valentines day again this year biggrin with good reason! I saw the best musical of all times Little Shop of Horrors! I feel content and happy! Also I found another WTF story for you all who read my journal, a few months back I presented the danger of peanuts, now I bring to you the folly of a Bull in a china shop, or in this case a clumsy oaf with loose laces and priceless Ming Dynasty Vases
Museumgoer Shatters Vases After Stumble
CAMBRIDGE, England (Jan. 30) - A museum visitor shattered three Qing dynasty Chinese vases when he tripped on his shoelace, stumbled down a stairway and brought the vases crashing to the floor, officials said Monday.
The three vases, dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, had been donated to the Fitzwilliam Museum in the university city of Cambridge in 1948, and were among its best-known artifacts. They had been sitting proudly on the window sill beside the staircase for 40 years.
"It was a most unfortunate and regrettable accident, but we are glad that the visitor involved was able to leave the museum unharmed," said Duncan Robinson, the Fitzwilliam's director.
The museum declined to identify the man who had tripped on a loose shoelace Wednesday.
Asked about the porcelain vases, Margaret Greeves, the museum's assistant director, said: "They are in very, very small pieces, but we are determined to put them back together."
The museum declined to say what the vases were worth.
I think the guy who did is a ******** clown shoe. I mean jeebus how the hell do you trip and fall like that? I mean when I fall its usually flat on my a** and I cuss about it. However this yutz manages to destroy priceless artwork? *shakes head* I also blame the museum for not protecting said vases better, unless they were of course in the discount bin for Priceless art, In which case I need to grab that painting of the melting clocks!
