After sharks in formaldehyde, it is indeed fitting that 'artist' Damien Hirst has decided to put an investment banker in this embalming fluid... It sold for an investment bank type sum too (nearly $4 billion). For some reason I don't believe that, but that is what the internets say...
Among the other creatures that fall into the same league that he could throw into formaldehyde and make his zillions include hyenas and vultures.
The banker happens to be from Merrill - not too sure why this company was the 'chosen' one. After closely studying the price for which this was sold for, I think Sec. Paulson might consider recruiting Mr Hirst into the investment bank bailout team. He seems to have the ability to easily muster ungodly amounts of cash by artfully distorting ninth grade science experiments/exhibits... We need the money - you know...
UPDATE: The Hirst investment banker thing looks like a spoof - like I said above, I did not believe the price, though formaldehyde might be a good medium to put most of the bankers in...
