Bernie Madoff Meets Nuni and Nooni Schoener

That's all I can think of as I read this story. (pic via Wikipedia)

This couple reminds me of the Schoeners (Nuni & Nooni) from Saturday Night Live, but real. To call it odd would be an understatement. ;-)

Don't miss the photo gallery.

Couple's Dreams of Immortality at Death's Door, Thanks to Madoff - WSJ.com: "The pair's work, based loosely on a movement known as 'transhumanism,' is premised on the idea that people degenerate and die in part because they live in spaces that are too comfortable. The artists' solution: construct abodes that leave people disoriented, challenged and feeling anything but comfortable. They build buildings with no doors inside. They place rooms far apart. They put windows near the ceiling or near the floor. Between rooms are sloping, bumpy moonscape-like floors designed to throw occupants off balance. These features, they argue, stimulate the body and mind, thus prolonging life. 'You become like a baby,' says Mr. Arakawa."
