"Wow, someone stole 'The Scream'!"

And another one, 'The Madonna', but first one is really famous.

The painting was recovered undamaged in a hotel about 65km (40 miles) south of Oslo in May 1994. Three Norwegians were arrested in connection with the theft.

Heh, i'm suprised your the only person who has said that. As soon as I heard about the news I instantly thought of that Mr.Bean movie.

I did a replica in First Year Art.

I think my version is now circulated as one after some local thugs held me at gunpoint and ran off with it.

Some people on these forums need to chill out a bit, it was a joke, no need for any clever comments.
