Did anyone else hear that the infamous painting "The Scream" (at least one of three versions of it...) was stolen from a museum in Oslo, Norway, along with an almost equally famous painting "The Madonna" by the same artist. There were guards present at the museum but apparently they, like the police in Norway's capitol city, were unarmed. The robbers were, however prepaired, with pistols. At least one of the guards was so shocked she had to be treated in a hospital... because of the gun. Arguably one of the most famous paintings in pop culture, the scream, should it not resurface, will be lost. Police expect the 'scream-nappers' to ask for a ransom because both paintings are too famous to sell to even the most dastardly art collectors. The scariest part is that witnesses say the robbers were pretty clumsy and dropped the paintings as they ran... hopefully they are not ruined.
