Howdy,

How about the Russian folk potter who had to contact the local military
officials, get permission, borrow an armed squad, take them all out in the
woods, all to shoot pots of wet clay. Probably had to pay extra for the
bullets used in his art as well. Now let's talk about "original ideas" and
who is stealing what from whom, and for how many of the past ten thousand
years.

Lee Burningham
gladly getting students to steal a little bit from this pot and a little
something else from another.
