Anything is possible in Brazil, from shear greatness to utter stupidity. Those paintings are hanging on the wall in a shack in a favela (slum) on one of the most scenic hillsides in the world probably. Some kid's stripping them down piece by piece to roll a smoke.

infidels! death is to good. they should be tied to chairs and made to listen to bureaucrats citing codes for thirty years.

what is the realistic possibility that this is not a inside job?
