Number 10. Life is sexually transmitted.

Number 9. Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

Number 8. Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich.

Number 7. Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.

Number 6. Some people are like a Slinky ... not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs.

Number 5. Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying Of nothing.

Number 4. All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

Number 3. Why does a slight tax increase cost you $200.00 and a substantial tax Cut saves you $0.30?

Number 2. In the '60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world Is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2008: 'Life is like a jar of jalapeƱos. What you do today, might burn your a$$ tomorrow'.

"Art is what you can get away with" - Andy Warhol.

And that quote pretty much describes the current exhibit of Andy Warhol artwork, on display at the Gallery of Modern Art.  Some of it is quite striking, some of it mundane, a lot of it appears to be created by an ADHD-suffering lunatic with an extremely short attention span.

For some reason, a lot of his works appear as if he couldn't be bothered finishing them and had found something else more interesting to do instead.  I realise that this is part of the appeal of his work (and the art movement he spawned), but for some reason I still think that someone who's last name wasn't Warhol, wouldn't be able to get away with it.

Apart from all this - it is a pretty interesting look at a wide array of his works.
