    Remember the embarrassment growing up when you break something expensive at a friend’s house? They say it’s fine but you can see they’re actually rather peeved, the atmosphere is tense when your mom picks you up and the frequency of your visits die down until you’ve been ostracised. Growing up clumsy, it’s brutal.

    Well at least you never stumbled and punctured a fist-sized hole through a $1,5 million (R20 million) painting, a fate suffered by this youngster in Taiwan. NY Daily News reports on exactly why this was such a disaster:

    “Flowers” was painted around 1660 [the video wrongly states 1600] and is the only painting signed by Porpora, who specialized [sic] in floral still lifes…

    The exhibition organiser said the boy shouldn’t be blamed for destroying the creative work — the painting was insured anyway, the owner added.

    Something tells me he might be welcome at many art exhibitions in the near future.  I suggest this youngster learn the moonwalk, almost any mistake can be rectified by exiting backwards via some nifty footwork.

    Perhaps he could also use the buffer of a cool $1 billion (R13 billion) lottery win, lest he go on another stumbling rampage. Maybe someone can point him in the direction of the US Powerball then, this evening seeing the monster draw take place.
