Giant Bug Attacks London . . . in 50 Years

You fools who worry about global warming don't know about real threats -- like spiders as big as trucks reducing London to rubble.

Okay, okay, it's all science fiction, but the new show at Britain's Tate Modern museum, by French artist Dominique Gonzalez Foerster, is truly shaking the city, offering visitors bleak images 50 years in the future of a collapsed society.

Foerster has turned the Tate into a refugee shelter with 200 bunk bends, and not-so-subtle clues of the bombings, earthquakes, famine, floods and alien invasion that may yet come.

All in all, compared to a subprime mortgage collapse and a looming worldwide depression, it's a heartwarming tale.
