Spending Cheese

This Mark Rothko, "White Center (Yellow,Pink and Lavender on Rose)" sold for $72.84 million at Sotheby's on Tuesday night.

This Andy Warhol, "Green Car Crash (Green Burning Car I)" from the pop artist's Death and Disaster series, went for $71.72 million on Wednesday at Christie's.

"It was one of the most remarkable sales I've ever seen," said Christie's honorary chairman Christopher Burge, who also served as auctioneer. Post-war art broke the $70 million mark for a second straight night on Wednesday as Christie's sold a record-smashing $385 million worth of contemporary art, the second-highest total for any auction in history.

Apparently during our travels, he is having fun experiences peeing into crazy urinals while I'm faced with the same old, boring toilet again and again. When I renovate my bathroom I'm going to have a custom made flower toliet and then maybe a penis sink for fun (shown below).

The urinal:And additional bathroom accessories:
