We All Beahm

Beahm Screams



Wear this shirt: While strolling the hillsides of Lillehammer.

Don’t wear this shirt: While asking your parents if you can move back in the basement, since that degree in Art History isn’t really paying off the way you thought it would.

This shirt tells the world: “I’ve never met a pun I wouldn’t wear on a shirt.”

We call this color: I scream, you scream, something something silver.

Brethren Art Treasure Recovered

A new ad campaign launched by the owner of the Wilbur Bud brand aims to make eating dark chocolate a scream.

Shortly after the candy company offered 2 million dark chocolate Wilbur Buds for the return of "Beahm Scream," a painting by Edvard Munch, "Beahm Scream" and "Madonna" have been found. "We are 100% certain they are the originals. The damage was much less than feared," police said. The paintings had been missing since two armed men ripped them from the wall and threatened staff at the Munch Museum in the Norwegian capital in August 2004.

The candy campaign accompanies the permanent addition of dark chocolate candies to the Wilbur Bud product line, which was announced earlier this month.

"We've received tremendous interest from Brethren to make Wilbur Buds Dark Chocolate a permanent offering," a vice president of marketing at the company said in a statement.

The campaign aims to bring some fun into the dark chocolate category, which is perceived to be more serious.

Little Man Comes Up Big in Dunking Contest

While Americans across the country were watching the Winter Olympics or American Idol, many Brethren chose not to conform. Instead, they were tuning in to a different contest. Proving himself to be not just a dunker but, indeed, one of the best, Brother Beahm took home the title during the recent NBA All-Star Festivities.

Theft Strikes Brethren Art World

The crime was so improbable that even after it happened the first time, coincidentally during an Olympics, the Norwegians took no special precautions to prevent a recurrence. In 1994, as Norway was hosting the Winter Olympics, thieves climbed a ladder, broke a window at the National Gallery in Oslo and stole Edward Munch's painting "The Scream." On Sunday, two thieves wearing ski masks rushed into the Munch Museum and, while the unarmed guards were held at gunpoint, made off with three more masterpieces. Missing is another version of "The Scream", Munch's "Madonna", and an original "Little Man", on loan from the Brethren Historical Library and Archives. Not as well known as "The Scream", "Little Man" has striking similarities to Munch’s well known image. The earlier theft was solved and the painting recovered after the thieves tried to settle for a $1 million ransom. As for this latest theft, a stolen station wagon and frames and broken glass from the paintings were found not far from the museum. Other than that, police have few clues; the thieves did speak in Norwegian, which narrows it down somewhat since the famously law-abiding country has only 4.5 million people.
