Isn't it strange how children are smarter than adults?

Kids haven't had the creativity knocked out of them like us adults, so sometimes they can think outside of the box in unexpected ways. My son just got his yearbook and was showing off his kindergarten class picture to some friends. Another boy asked him, "Who is the tallest in your class?" After a moment's thought, he responded, "The teacher."

Isn't it strange how some modern art is indistinguishable from a pile of dog poo?

This sculpture in La Jolla, CA, cost $200,000 in 1987. Unfortunately, most of the people who look at it think that it resembles a bowel movement. For an astute study of the bowel movement angle, see the Decrepit Old Fool blog. In fact, it is so ugly that a generous philanthropist paid $40,000 to have it moved to a less-visible location.

So tell me, what would you name this piece of art?
