Good journalism at work here!! I hope the rascals that did the painting know how to get it off! It is a shame to loose that art.

To ever make fun of a name, but Zzyx? Is that even a name? How do you pronounce that?

What happened to all of the paintings in that alley of Martin Luther and of Moses smashing a golden calf? It's weird, because now that this has happened, I'm not sure that any such paintings were ever there. Ever.

Huh.
