See balls, for free!
But not in like, a creepy illegal way. This guy has a house of balls, which you can see -- for free! Balls and sculptures -- like the one above. It's like if you made axman surplus into a house of art. He's been compared to Willy Wonka, and it all happens on March 20.
Info: here.

On an unrelated note, I learned today that agitated patients often get a lot less agitated when you speak to them in their language. This is not a metaphor, I wish it were. This guy's nursing home told us:
"He speaks Spanish or French or something -- but definitely not English."
French and Spanish speakers are exceptionally easy to come by, and there's generally no reason to disbelieve a patient's nursing home. However, this patient actually spoke Somali, and not any Spanish or French. He spoke Somali, because he is from Somalia, and he was agitated because some guys stuffed him in an ambulance to go somewhere and get poked with needles while people tried to explain what was happening in Spanish and French.
On a related note, I know what nursing home NOT to send my Grandma to.

I went to see The House of Balls once four or five years ago (my dad told me about it), but it was after hours and I could only look through the windows and listen to some creepy pre-recorded audio messages playing at the front door. I remember telling Homans that we needed to check it out at some point. I bet he'd love it!
