Oops! Art lover trips, shatters ancient vases
Boobs story submitted by anniev
LONDON - It was every art lover's nightmare — a stumble, a crash and thousands of dollars worth of historic fragments lying on the floor. The incident happened last week at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, England, which for decades has displayed a group of Qing dynasty Chinese vases on a window sill. A hapless visitor tripped on a loose shoelace, tumbled down a flight of stairs and crashed into the vases, smashing them into smithereens. The man, who has not been named, left the museum shaken but undamaged -- in sharp contrast to the vases.
