You can count on Dave Barry to provide bloggable material. "I'm not making this up" is his common lead-in to a story that's so bizarre nobody could possibly have made it up.

And, if he wasn't writing for "family" newspapers, he could even have prefaced his latest column with the expression "No Shit!"

Apparently several art museums have paid a substantial price for art work that consists of a sealed can containing roughly an ounce of the artist's output. My own reaction was "$35,000 an ounce? Now that must be some GOOD shit, man!"
