What the Hell Theatre - 2/21

The London police recently rushed to a home after they received an emergency call and heard wimpering in the background followed by a man saying, "Come out or else - I'm warning you". When they arrived at the house, they found Bailey, a 14-month-old golden retriever, running around in the yard with a cordless phone in his mouth. He had inadvertently dialled 999 (911) while attempting to keep his grip on the phone.

New York artist Ariana Page Russell has a dermatological disorder that makes her skin puff up immediately at the slightest scratch (which renders her, she says, the "human Etch A Sketch"). She now scratches herself in deliberate patterns, to create artistic designs, which she photographs and offers for sale. Russell says she must work quickly, for her skin usually returns to normal after about an hour.
