Surprised people in the US saw a body hanging from the top of a building. They called the police, but the body turned out to be a life-sized sculpture of Sigmund Freud.
The sculpture is a piece of art by a Czech sculptor. The work, called Man Hanging Out, shows Freud suspended by one hand from a pole. It's placed seven stories high up on top of the Trade Center Building in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Sculptor David Cerny's work also has appeared in Prague and London and was displayed in Chicago over the summer.
Cerny's works tend to be controversial . In Prague in 1991 he painted a Soviet tank pink.
The Grand Rapids police and fire departments said they were not told about the statue's placement. The owner of a local art gallery said she has a permit for it.
The Cerny sculpture will be in Grand Rapids until spring.

一些美國民眾看到樓頂吊著一個人而飽受驚嚇。他們打電話報警，但結果那只是西格蒙．佛洛伊德真人大小的雕像。
該雕像是捷克雕塑家的作品，取名為「懸掛在外的男人」，雕刻的是佛洛伊德一手握著竿子懸吊著。它被高掛在密西根州大湍流市、七層樓高的貿易中心頂樓。
雕塑家大衛．柯尼的作品曾在布拉格和倫敦展出，今年夏天則是在芝加哥展示。
柯尼的作品頗富爭議性。他於一九九一年在布拉格時，把一輛蘇維埃的坦克車漆成粉紅色。
大湍流市的警察局和消防隊說，他們並未被告知雕像的擺設，當地藝廊的女主人則說她有取得許可證。
此作品將在該市展示到春天。

The US-Israeli war with Iran, which began on Feb. 28, has killed thousands of people, destabilized the Middle East and rocked global energy markets by effectively closing the strait. WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction. Perhaps the world’s most important energy shipping channel, the waterway is about 167km long. Following through on an old threat, Tehran effectively closed the strait
Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common. You might keep playing a video game you no longer enjoy because you’ve invested countless hours in building your character, or maintain a toxic friendship because you’ve known
