Hanging Corpse Admired as Sculpture on Campus
Fri Nov 14, 1:51 PM ET Add Oddly Enough - Reuters to My Yahoo!

BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Police on Friday removed the corpse of a man believed to have hanged himself at least a year ago after builders and students at Budapest's University of Arts had initially mistaken it for a modern sculpture.

The body hung for a whole day in a garden building that had been re-opened for repairs before onlookers realized what it was and called the police, local media said.

The building, in campus grounds crowded with different types of sculpture, had been closed five years ago pending reconstruction work.

I do too, Casper. And I love Lixy's new dictionary. Any idea where you can buy it?

Do you think some modern art has gone too far if a dead body can be mistaken? I wonder if viewers' thought it'd been sprayed with "Eau d' Yuck" cologne?

SQUICK!
