* A survey of 500 arts experts, conducted in November by the
sponsor of Britain's prestigious Turner Prize, named as the most
influential work of modern art (beating out two works by Picasso)
Marcel Duchamp's 1917 "Fountain," which is merely a white
porcelain urinal. (Duchamp was a central figure in the movement
to present ordinary objects as art.)

In January, Rev. Clarence June Love, 83, pastor of the
Assemblies of Jesus church in Bristol, Tenn., ejected sisters Reba
Storey, 46, and Mary Steele, 64, from a service, rebuking them as
possessed by demons because they were wearing blue jeans (in that
Pentecostals believe that women should not wear pants). (Said
Storey, "I'm glad I serve a God who can work through my pants.")
The sisters were trying to visit with their 88-year-old mother, who
allegedly was being kept away from them by a third sister, who is
also Rev. Love's girlfriend. A few days later, a local judge urged
the family to work things out.

Least Competent Criminals: In Vancouver, Wash., in January,
Cuitlahvac Renteria-Martinez, 26, was arrested for jumping into an
idling 18-wheeler and taking off. However, the rig had a global
positioning system that made it easy to track Renteria-Martinez,
and he was quickly arrested. He later admitted to police that he
had taken a swig out of what he thought was the driver's coffee cup
but learned too late that it was actually the driver's tobacco spit-
cup.
