Makin' bacon!

The museum director said a workshop behind the museum and a sport utility vehicle were destroyed.

Ah, well, it's all right then.

he artist, Douglas Ferrin, had permission to use the workshop. He told police he used the gunpowder to make .38-caliber bullets and 12-gauge shotgun shells.

There may be a Nobel prize contender here.  ;^)
