Philip Greenspun's Weblog: : Note: The traffic accident was an interesting example of Mutually Assured Destruction via SUV. The driver of a GMC SUV had lost control of his vehicle and spun it around, ending up by smashing into a tree. Because his vehicle was so ponderously bulky the impact had knocked the tree out of the ground. Sadly, in a Coyote v. Road Runner-esque turn of events, the tree proceeded to fall on the SUV's roof. In an effort to keep SUVs from rolling over there apparently isn't much structure up there. So the entire roof of the SUV had been flattened by the tree.

A Chilean artist is making a name for herself with an exhibition in which stuffed animals are transformed into household objects.
Artworks on display include a chick turned into a lamp, and 'sheep bag' - a lamb carcass fitted with handles.
Artist Caterina Purdy says her exhibition at the Experimental Arts Centre in Santiago is intended to be humorous but also makes a serious point.
She told Las Ultimas Noticias online: 'It is possible to see my work as something scary, but I find it beautiful.
'There is also irony and humour in my objects as well as a criticism of the way animals are treated by society.'"
