In the NYT this morning was a photo of about 3,500 ceramic crabs all in a pile at a museum; this was "installed art". I guess it's up to the artist. ;-)

Thankfully, Cees, there are no Pagodas on the Car Kebob spindle of Berwyn, Illinois. I used to drive by this frequently when I had a client in Berwyn. It was very real.

Actually I know a few car models that are only good for being spiked like that!

Alfred, I owned two that would have been good nominees. A '74 Chevy Vega and a ’'79 Olds "Gutlass".
