Sign the Apocalypse Is Overdue # 12,747

Please observe the following bit of lunacy work of art in which a man places firecracker-stuffed bananas on his face and lights them one by one.


Think Globally, Act Locally by Brooklyn-based complete nutter artist William Lamson
As the Metro.co.uk put it:
What elevates it to greatness, beyond the whole banana-head explody thing, is the care and delicacy with which he rearranges the tattered banana fronds after they've been splashed across his face. It's clear that there is method here, a deliberate movement towards an essential yet unattainable goal of exploding-banana perfection. It is not the result that elevates it to the realms of greatness; it is the striving to constantly improve, to perfect, to reach for the giddy heights of transcendence that lurk forever beyond mortal reach.
There is, unfortunately, much more at his site, but we cannot be responsible for lost IQ points if you watch any of it.
Important Note: If either of the boys try this, they will pay their own medical bills, because I am not going to explain to the insurance that my brilliant son covered his head with exploding bananas. And if they survive, I'll make them wish the Apocalypse had come in time.
