Well, this was undoubtedly Marcel Duchamps' dada-ist "found piece"
after WWI.

If you had seen most of your friends dead (and they were in some cases
the lucky ones) in one of those World War I battles in which hundreds
of thousands of people died and the lines moved 5 feet you'd be of
that mindset as well.

Which WWI battles resulted in hundreds of thousands of people killed?

Just curious.

The battle of Verdun in 1916 was a real slauter. French casualties during
the battle were estimated at 550,000 with German losses set at 434,000, half
of the total being fatalities. The only real effect of the battle was the
irrevocable wounding of both armies. No tactical or strategic advantage had
been gained by either side.

I saw five gallon buckets of urine on street corners in China in
1964.They have trucks that come along and pick up that urine.They take
it somewhere where they make some kind of medicine out of it.
