You can't make this stuff up

Sometimes, you come across a story that's just so damn ridiculous that you can't even make up a decent joke about it. This is one of those stories:

A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy blew away from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum, bringing down a power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again, the museum said Monday.

The art work, titled "Complex S(expletive..)", is the size of a house. The wind carried it 200 metres (yards) from the Paul Klee Centre in Berne before it fell back to Earth in the grounds of a children's home, said museum director Juri Steiner.

First of all, this is about an inflatable piece of dog shit as big as a house! Who even knew such a thing existed? Secondly, this may be the very first time I've ever seen the word "turd" used in a wire story. Third, I wonder if anybody at the children's home saw it coming. I mean, how terrifying must it be to see a giant piece of crap floating in the sky, coming directly toward you?
