SCULPTURE MADE OUT OF PANDA TURDS WORTH BIG BUCKS

"A sculpture made out of panda turds was put up for auction at the Henan Art Museum in China, and then subsequently sold to a famous Swiss collector for a whopping 300,000 yuan, or 45,000 USD.
Pictured above is a recreation of the Venus De Milo, an ancient Greek statue depicting the Greek goddess Aphrodite, better known by the Romans as Venus. It was created by well-renowned Chinese sculptor Zhu Cheng. Well, actually, Cheng merely directed a team of nine Chengdu art students. Apparently, he wasn’t too keen on putting his hands on poo-poo. Regardless, this isn’t he first time Cheng has dabbled in poop. Over the years, he’s sculpted a dizzying array of poop sculptures depicting various subjects, from Australian koala bears to a Japanese soldier surrendering his weapon at the end of World War II. Cheng was inspired to begin creating works of poop after he overheard zookeepers at a panda reserve discussing ways to make better use of all the panda turds lying around."
