Check it out, some guy (or girl) paid £74 Million ($120 Million) for an original painting of 'The Scream' by Edvard Munch. It is a haunting and very famous piece of work but would you ever pay that much for a piece of art ? Even if you did have the money ?

There was a story on the radio a couple of years ago about these people who had an original....Michelangelo, I think. They had no clue that's what it was and got it appraised after pulling it out of storage. A museum gave them 300,000,000 (that's right, 300 million) dollars for it. ohmy.gif Maybe it's because I am not an art buff, but that's just plain stupid to me.
