Laurence points to a story which breaks my heart.

 OSLO, Norway (CNN) -- Masked robbers stormed into an art museum in Norway and stole Edvard Munch's famous paintings "The Scream" and "Madonna" at gunpoint before the eyes of stunned museum-goers.

For those of you who might not know the details, these are the images they're talking about (click for larger)

 

What a shame. It's like someone stealing the Mona Lisa. My main concern is that the cretins won't handle the image properly and damage it somehow. If they just ripped it off the wall, God knows they were in a hurry and probably didn't concern themselves with keeping the painting out of harms way.

And even though the image might be a bit cliche, Scream is still one of my favorites. I also like his painting, Puberty.

Update: A suspect has been identified, but to no avail.
