Hikers Find 70 Shoes Filled With Butter ( odd isnt it?) :) Hikers Find 70 Shoes Filled With Butter
STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) - As shoe collections go, the one found by a pair of Swedish hikers definitely had no place in any closet. A Swedish couple hunting on a remote mountain Sunday in Sweden's far northern province of Jaemtland found 70 pairs of shoes, all filled with butter. ``If we knew who had done this we could make them clean this mess up,'' Alf Kjaellstroem, a province spokesman told The Associated Press Thursday. ``It's not going to be pretty when the butter starts to rot. And we have to wait for the snow so we can get up there with the snowmobile.'' He said there were 140 shoes of all kinds - sneakers, children's shoes, high heels, boots and tap shoes - each stuffed with half a kilo (1.1 pound) of butter and spread out in the landscape. The find was similar to one done by artist Yu Xiuzhen's in 1996. His exhibit ``Shoes With Butter,'' was laid out in the Tibetan mountains surrounding Lhasa, China. | |

The artist did not know about the Chinese installation previous to doing his own. He was inspired to do the piece when he was wearing hiking boots and his feet were sweating and he felt like they were swimming around in butter.
Very strange all the same, only happens in Sweden. Come see for yourselves  | |

i don't think it's performance art at all. i'm sure ther's a logical explanation. perhaps the antelopes of that region had a sale on shoes, and the give-away was a butter lick tucked neatly inside the shoe | |
