Prankster Smuggles Art Into Top Museums

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Many a visitor to New York's Museum of Modern Art has probably thought, "I could do that."

A British graffiti artist who goes by the name "Banksy" went one step further, by smuggling in his own picture of a soup can and hanging it on a wall, where it stayed for more than three days earlier this month before anybody noticed.

The prank was part of a coordinated plan to infiltrate four of New York's top museums on a single day.

The largest piece, which he smuggled into the Brooklyn Museum, was a 2 foot by 1.5 foot (61cm by 46 cm) oil painting of a colonial-era admiral, to which the artist had added a can of spray paint in his hand and anti-war graffiti in the background.


The other two targets were the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the American Museum of Natural History, where he hung a glass-encased beetle with fighter jet wings and missiles attached to its body -- another comment on war, Banksy told Reuters on Thursday.

MICHIGANTOWN, Indiana (AP) -- An Indiana pet store owner says he sees the image of Satan on the shell of a turtle that was the only survivor of a store fire in October.

Owner Bryan Dora now says he sees Satan's face on the critter's shell. He can spot lips, eyes, a goatee, shoulders and a pair of pointy horns on Lucky's back.

Californian finds finger in bowl of fast food chili

SAN FRANCISCO - A diner at a Wendy’s fast food restaurant in San Jose, California, found a human finger in a bowl of chili prepared by the chain, local officials said.

“This individual apparently did take a spoonful, did have a finger in their mouth and then, you know, spit it out and recognized it,” said Ben Gale, director of the department of environmental health for Santa Clara County. “Then they had some kind of emotional reaction and vomited.”

Local officials launched an investigation after the incident on Tuesday night and the medical examiner determined on Wednesday that the object was a human finger.

Study: Abstinence May Lead to Risky Acts

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Teens who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are more likely to take chances with other kinds of sex that increase the risk of sexually transmitted diseases, a study of 12,000 adolescents suggests.

The report by Yale and Columbia University researchers could help explain their earlier findings that teens who pledged abstinence are just as likely to have STDs as their peers.

The latest study, published in the April issue of the Journal of Adolescent Health, found that teens pledging virginity until marriage are more likely to have oral and anal sex than other teens who have not had intercourse. That behavior, however, "puts you at risk," said Hannah Brueckner, assistant professor of sociology at Yale and one of the study's authors.

Beastly doctor snaps up women crawling on all fours

She thought something was amiss when the doctor told her to strip naked -- she only had a painful chest. Still, her physician was one of the most famous in Japan, so she assumed he knew what he was doing.

She even went along when he told her to get on all fours and crawl. And she still didn't complain when the doctor pulled out a digital camera and began taking photos. But she knew something was really wrong when she wasn't charged for the examination.

Police blunder into sex game

Police trying to foil a kidnapping in Holland found they had instead blundered into an elaborate sex game.

Passers-by called police after seeing a young blonde woman being bundled into the back of a van in Brunssum.

Three men had roughly manhandled the struggling woman who was handcuffed, blindfolded, gagged and staggering on high heels in fishnet stockings.

Police scrambled a helicopter, motorbikes and squad cars - 22 officers in all - and tracked the van to the city of Heerlen some 20 miles away.

There was a dramatic chase which ended in a police road block and the men being ordered to lie face down at gunpoint on the road.

Two of them were only half dressed and police feared the woman had been raped in the back of the van.

But when they untied her and took her gag off, she reportedly screamed: "You stupid b******s! I've been trying to set this up for months! And now you've ruined it, just when it was getting interesting!"

The three male occupants, aged 36, 39 and 58 and all from Heerlen, were freed.

"We ascertained no crime was committed because this was a sexual fantasy that the 'victim' set up and was a willing participant in," said a police spokesman.

"We advised her next time to arrange to be kidnapped in her own home."
