A janitorial staff member at a German museum accidentally destroyed a $1.1 million piece of art over the weekend when they tried to clean a “stain” off the piece.

The cleaner was doing her rounds when she noticed what she thought was a stain on a sculpture at which point she proceeded to clean the “stain.”

The destroyed piece was by the late Martin Kippenberger and is titled When It Starts Dripping from the Ceilings.

Sculpted as a wooden structure with a bowl underneath it is painted to look discolored by dripping water and it was the painted portion that the worker destroyed.

According to the Telegraph a museum representative says “It is now impossible to return it to its original state.”

The museum says the piece will remain on display regardless of the cleaners error in judgment and they also revealed that cleaners have been told in the past to come no closer to 8 inches of a work.

I personally think the cleaner should be fired if they haven’t already, simply asking a curator during regular business hours if a stain was suppose to exist could have avoiding a very expensive mistake. Do you think better measures should have been taken to make sure such mistakes were avoided?

This might not appeal to all Mac fans but I am sure more than a few would love to have something like this.

Kevin Tong – taking inspiration for people like H.G. Wells and da Vinci – has created the iSteamMac. Unfortunately it is only available as a graphic on your choice of a t-shirt or poster. The t-shirt version is on an America Apparel Cream colored tee and will cost you $20.00 (plus shipping).

The screen printed poster is two-color on 100lb. acid-free French Speckletone paper – 24 inches x 18 inches – but there is only a limited edition of 300. The poster will cost you $15 (plus shipping) but you gotta admit it would look pretty cool framed and hanging on your wall.

I realize that home protection is a pretty big business with everything from bars on the windows to lockdown safe rooms.There are companies that will sell you the most modern of security alarm systems that are monitored 24 hours days just so you can feel a little safer.

However I don’t think that any of those ideas come even close to having a great big huge tank sitting in your garage for all the world to see. Never mind the AK-47 you have hiding behind the front door or the claymore mines littering the hallways. These all pale in comparison to that big gun pointing in your direction.

Now if a tank isn’t up your alley you could always go the route of having a fully fueled jet plane to chase their asses with.

Of course if you are more the type of using a vicious animal to keep unwanted guests away you could try this option out for size

No of course between you an me we both know that none of these are real but rather some clever artwork done on weather resistant tarps that you can attached to the front of your garage, all courtesy of Style-Your-Garage.com

Gotta admit though they could be kind of fun to hang up and see the reactions of people as they walk by.
