At restaurants across the country, raw vegetables have suddenly been thrust to the forefront as bravura opening gambits to a meal, massed on great wooden boards (as at Clever Rabbit in Chicago) and rising from giant terracotta urns, with stalks reaching higher than diners' heads, evoking feathers in a war bonnet (at Santina in New York).

Its last king, Nikola Petrovic Njegos, inhabited a modest palace across from the Biljarda until he fled the country in 1918, as Austrian forces invaded during World War I. Now known as King Nikola's Museum, it is filled with treasures, including antique Chinese urns, Persian carpets, Venetian mirrors, Indonesian furniture and royal portraits from families across Europe.

Zura Natroshvili was planning to build a swimming pool for his son on the terrace of his eighth-floor duplex apartment when he had a better idea: Why not bury four dozen ceramic urns full of grapes in the pool instead, turn the contents into world-class wine, and then convert his apartment's first floor into a restaurant?

Sure, there was other options, like a "marble-like" trash can for $21 (its light weight and reflective shimmer quickly revealed the deceit), a $2800 pair of urns about the size of an upright adult (still living, of course) or flat-screen TVs whose three-inch thickness — once a feat of electronic engineering — make them more of a telecom relic.

The silhouettes at the top of the painting, like the horizontal band behind the black snakes, appear to be raw linen, but after a while you realize that the urns are tinted green: the one on the left is fully pigmented while on the right, the color rises only about two-thirds of the way up, where it gives way to a more canvas-like ecru.

The monastery also generates income from the store at its visitors' center, which sells dried mushrooms and a slew of other products, many of which are produced at other Trappist monasteries; its retreat center, which hosts both individual and group visitors; timber that is harvested by outside contractors; and a new nondenominational columbarium, which offers a place for funeral urns to be stored on Mepkin's grounds.

I would come down early every morning to get the ovens and coffee urns going to find unbelievable fruit carvings in the walk-in refrigerator: Shaun, up all night in the empty dining hall, would carve watermelon dragons and Granny Smith apple birds of paradise with his paring knife, before submitting himself to a cocoon of mosquito netting he fashioned around his sleeping bag.

Photo via C.H.U.D. Hopefully you're more familiar with Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers than the town of Smith Falls, Ontario, which apparently fails to understand that pouring human ooze into the sewer system is a guaranteed way to create an army of C.H.U.D. Local business owner Dale Hilton of Aquagreen Dispositions told the CBC that he's riding the "green wave" currently overtaking the funeral business, which includes biodegradable urns and caskets, by offering Canadians a more energy-efficient cremation method using alkaline to liquify bodies.
