World's Greatest Art Thefts

by Anthony Haden


Forbe's Lists the World's Greatest Art Thefts, this knowledge will help you when you appear on Jeopardy!

"The 1911 theft of the "Mona Lisa," when the self-styled Marques Eduardo de Valfierno paid three men to steal it from the Louvre in Paris, is usually seen as the first great art heist of the 20th century. Since that time, countless thousands of works of major and minor art have been stolen, whether by professional thieves or as the result of war. The extraordinary thing is not how many pieces have been stolen but how many have been recovered. "

Cause he's good at that. Great job defending him offensive line, you earned you mill and another trip on the love boat. Thanks vikings for another great sunday!

The Office



The Office is my new favorite broadcast TV show. That's weird for me to say, because I've hated all network tv shows for the past decade. They were all filled with suck. The Office though is filled with a tasty cream filling of lude humor and witty morality. The basis of the show takes place in an office believe it or not from the perspective of a reality film crews camera. While it's not reality TV, the actors don't make me want to throw the TV out the window like when I watch the real world or any MTV show for that matter. Blah. Catch The Office 8:30 central, it'll make you laugh, and will make up for the time you spent watching those other reality shows, that stole hours off your life, that you can never get back.... Never.
