Suffering for your art

So this artist chained his legs together to draw a picture of the image of . . . you know . . . legs in chains.

Except then he lost the key.

And where was he at the time? Camping in an ABANDONED MINESHAFT in the CALIFORNIA DESERT. (Darwin awards, anyone?)

He hopped for 12 hours through the desert until he found help. The sheriff's deputy said the drawing (which apparently came along for the hop) was: "a pretty good depiction of how a chain would look wrapped around your legs."

Seriously.
