    Artist eats $120,000 banana taped to a wall.

    Some one taped a banana to a wall and some one else payed $120,000 for it, when another " artist " ate it .

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    You are dead right. Andy Warhol made a living taking the mickey out of people with his 'art'. Campbells soup can anyone...?

    Almost like they are living in a parallel universe, out of touch with reality. Funny thing about it , the bloke who bought it had to replace the banana each time it went over ripe. I've got some over ripe limes in my fruit bowl must be worth a few grand. Might set it up outside the Qld art gallery, probably get a scholarship.

    All art is all about eliciting a reaction, an emotional response so I reckon it succeeded. Artist eats 0,000 banana taped to a wall.

    So if I was to kick someone in the nuts I would be an "Artist", Because that would certainly create an emotional reaction and an emotional response
