So have you had the chance to meet the glorious Croy Devenish-Phibbs and his hilariously dead family? Croy is the 103 year old (so it is claimed at least) "silver surfer" of the web and twitscape who has urged people to send him photographs of donated park benches around Scotland with obituary markers from his extended Devenish-Phibbs clan... with extremely humorous results. This is one of the funniest "public art" projects I have ever seen... may take a bit to load the images, but hang in there, they are so very worth it.

One of my favorites, just as a teaser:
"For Flo who used to love to come to this park to chase squirrels, sniff dogs and do her business in the bushes. She was by no means a conventional woman but we miss her all the same.
Florence Devenish-Phibbs, wife and sister
1830 - 1934"
