Dandy and Eccentric

From The State last week (June 17):

"LONDON- Self-styled dandy and noted British eccentric Sebastian Horsley,who found fame by having himself nailed to a cross in the Philippines, died Thursday at the age of 47....

Horsley is perhaps best known for a bungled attempt to have himself crucified in the Philippines in 2000 as part of an art project. The procedure almost ended in disaster when his foot support broke, threatening to rip his hands apart (he was caught and taken down from the cross just in time.)"

Yes- getting yourself nailed to a cross makes you dandy and eccentric. If you are rich. Otherwise, sira-ulo ka lang (You're just plain crazy).
