Jesus tap-dancing christ, what a dumb topic. But I must chime in, of
course.

I prefer Jesus Christ on a Pogo Stick.  If you capitalize Jesus and Christ 
you should capitalize Pogo and Stick.

Art is in the eye of the beholder. Someone could crap out some code over
a weekend with no sleep, and in their mind they are suffering for their
art. It is art to them. I would imagine that not a lot of people
considered Brillo boxes to be art before Mr. Warhol presented them as
such. I suppose it's who the joke is on and whether or not you fall for
it yourself.

I like Plato's view of art.  For those of you who've forgoten Plato thinks 
art is crap because it's based on emotion and not intellect.
