SHORT STORY: Picasso Pablo Picasso, who produced about 13.500 paintings or designs, 100,000 prints or engravings, 34.000 book illustrations and 300 sculptures or ceramics, is not surprisingly listed in the Guiness Book of World Records as the most prolific artist in history. Moreover, Picasso, whose full name is Pablo Diego Jose Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno Crispin Crispiano de la Santisima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso, might also be named "most prolifically-named artist in history". VOCABULARY JOKE OF THE WEEK: The Art Collector A famous art collector is walking through the city when he notices a mangy cat lapping milk from a saucer in the doorway of a store. He knows that the saucer is extremely old and very valuable, so he walks casually into the store and offers to buy the cat for two dollars. The storeowner replies, "I'm sorry, but the cat isn't for sale." The collector says, "Please, I need a hungry cat around the house to catch mice. I'll pay you 20 dollars for that cat." And the owner says "Sold," and hands over the cat. The collector continues, "Hey, for the twenty bucks I wonder if you could throw in that old saucer. The cat's used to it and it'll save me from having to get a dish." The owner says, "Sorry buddy, but that's my lucky saucer. So far this week I've sold sixty-eight cats." VOCABULARY USEFUL QUOTATION "A picture is worth a thousand words." DID YOU KNOW If a statue in the park of a person on a horse has both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all four legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.
