Inspired by Cervantes (who put an end to the ridiculous knight-errant books of his time by writing a knight-errant book even more ridiculous, crazy and absurd), he wants to put an end to Modern Art frauds making an even bigger fraud! <br/>In his web page (www.theendofmodernart.com) he explains how the sale of his work &#8220;The End Of &#8220;Modern Art&#8221;&#8221; for a million dollars will put an end to Modern Art or, at least, generate a very necessary debate that will help to stop art frauds.<br/><br/>&#8220;The End Of &#8220;Modern Art&#8221;&#8221; is for sale on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=170108024366), to avoid gallery owners and art dealers, who are not interested in killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. If G&#8217;s plans are successful, Modern Art will die just to make way to a Timeless Art, inspiring, enriching and, above all, original.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[First A4 colour e-paper unfurled]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/technology/l/20236/1/" /><id>20236</id><summary><![CDATA[First A4 colour e-paper unfurled]]></summary><issued>2007-05-14T01:41:07+01:00</issued><modified>2007-05-14T01:41:07+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[South Korea's LG Philips LCD has developed the world's first A4-sized colour electronic-paper - a paper-thin and bendable viewing panel.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[A Million Paper Airplanes]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/world/l/54971/1/" /><id>54971</id><summary><![CDATA[A Million Paper Airplanes]]></summary><issued>2008-03-20T00:10:51+01:00</issued><modified>2008-03-20T00:10:51+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[A 5 year old cancer patients fights to beat his disease, and to capture a world record.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Firefighters Called Out to Extinguish Giant Toilet Paper Roll Fire]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/weird/l/4437/1/" /><id>4437</id><summary><![CDATA[Firefighters Called Out to Extinguish Giant Toilet Paper Roll Fire]]></summary><issued>2006-10-25T23:36:38+01:00</issued><modified>2006-10-25T23:36:38+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[The story is pretty short, but I thought it was funny!]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Meet Mouse, the horse that's allergic to hay ]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/129325/1/" /><id>129325</id><summary><![CDATA[Meet Mouse, the horse that's allergic to hay ]]></summary><issued>2009-07-29T09:37:37+01:00</issued><modified>2009-07-29T09:37:37+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Mouse the horse has been put on a strict diet of nuts and given a bed of shredded paper after her owners discovered she is allergic to hay and straw.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Mr Gorbachev, DO NOT tear down this wall]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/politics/l/132811/1/" /><id>132811</id><summary><![CDATA[Mr Gorbachev, DO NOT tear down this wall]]></summary><issued>2009-09-11T12:38:26+01:00</issued><modified>2009-09-11T12:38:26+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Margaret Thatcher, unlike <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.historyplace.com/speeches/reagan-tear-down.htm" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Reagan</a> was of the <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6829860.ece" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">opinion</a> that a <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.chronik-der-mauer.de/index.php/de/Start/Index/id/652147/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">unified</a> Germany was not in the best interest of Europe and tried her best to <a class="plime" href="/redir.p?http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/politics/article6829416.ece?token=null&amp;offset=12&amp;page=2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">prevent</a> it from happening.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Inmates take swipe at toilet paper cuts]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/18552/1/" /><id>18552</id><summary><![CDATA[Inmates take swipe at toilet paper cuts]]></summary><issued>2007-05-01T00:20:13+01:00</issued><modified>2007-05-01T00:20:13+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Toilet paper is becoming a sought after commodity at the Hutchinson Correctional Facility after officials began limiting inmates to one roll at a time to trim costs.]]></content></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[Los Angeles Spends $1 Million Per Year on Calligraphy]]></title><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.plime.com/plime-com/l/105991/1/" /><id>105991</id><summary><![CDATA[Los Angeles Spends $1 Million Per Year on Calligraphy]]></summary><issued>2009-04-09T17:25:16+01:00</issued><modified>2009-04-09T17:25:16+01:00</modified><content type="text/html" mode="escaped"><![CDATA[Los Angeles has been in a large deficit for the past year--this year it could up to $530 million.
