Heads, Balls and Bottoms

Today was a day of body parts, albeit unintentionally.

First of all, we had this corker of an incident. Monday's night's Arsenal-Leeds encounter will be forever be remembered due to a returning Thierry Henry's winning goal. What it SHOULD be remembered for is this brilliant pre-match incident, when Arsenal legend Martin Keown was smacked in the head by a ball, to the delight of the watching crowd.

Lifelong Gooner Tony Marks claims "it didn't HIT him in the head, he HEADED it". I'm not so sure...


"Bottoms" was our other main body part off the back of a brilliant, if slightly deranged, story from over in America (naturally). A 36 year-old drunk woman, Carmen Tisch (tee hee) decided to drop her trousers and rub her buttocks over a painting worth $40m. If you're wondering how unimaginably beautiful such a highly-valued painting is, behold, in all its glory, '1957-J no.2' by Clyfford Still.

The painting BEFORE the bottom-wiping incident believe it or not
So despite the fact said painting looks like it was put to canvas using nothing BUT bottoms, the museum weren't too chuffed. I know what you're thinking - who on god's green earth would pay £40, let alone £20m for something my dog could do? The wonder that is 'modern art'.

We asked you to own up to your most embarrassing case of breaking/damaging something that wasn't yours. The best ones included a Meet the Parents-style grandmother's urn being knocked over incident and after a marathon 14-hour car drive to see his sister in Australia, Benny in Hove thought it'd be a really good idea to hand break turn INTO the driveway (in some bizarre attempt to 'make an entrance') only to discover that in the process he'd run over Doogon the family dog. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Bit of both perhaps?

'Doogon' waited patently for Uncle Benny to arrive...
See you tomorrow bloggers!
