"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

The Scream, Edvard Munch (1893)
Copyright: Whoever Stole It.
SCREAMSAVER: MY COPY OF THE SCREAM (ABOVE), SAFELY SAVED ON MY COMPUTER, HAS SOARED IN VALUE SINCE THE THEFT OF THE ORIGINAL - I WON'T PART WITH IT FOR LESS THAN A MILLION DOLLARS.
SCREAM 2
Edvard Munch's famous painting The Scream and other works were stolen from the Munch Museum in Oslo Norway (Sunday) by armed men - the second time a version of one of art's most iconic paintings has been stolen in a decade
Another version was stolen and recovered in 1994.
DISCLAIMER:I am not an art expert - I don't know a lot about art but I know wot I like (especially them old paintings wots got birds with big bristols* in them).
*Bristol cities in full - cockney rhyming slang for a woman's jugs (to give them their proper anatomical name)
