A $139 million "DOH!"
Vegas gazillionaire Steve Wynn pulls a Homer on a $139 million Piccaso painting. Luckily, it was his painting. Unluckily, he had just sold it for the aforementioned $139 million. DOH!

Damn. That's about what it cost the Cajuns to wire up all of Lafayette with fiber (see posting: Fiber Optic Internet in lafayette).

Even good ol' Corpus Christi has a city-wide Wi Fi network.

In a few years that painting will probably be worth twice what it is now because of the hole. Where else can you buy a Picasso with a hole made by Steve Wynn?

I was thinking about the "shot through Marilyns" by Andy Warhol (is there a link around ...). Not a great version of the events, but some nut shot up Warhol's paintings (and Warhol? -- I forget) in the 1960s. http://web.reed.edu/reed_magazine/nov1998/makeover/3.html
