To refer to this as a David and Goliath battle devalues the impact of that clich\u00c3\u00a9; it was more like a blind, one-armed David fighting Goliath without a rock. Yet there was no trick to this win and there was no deception &#8212; the team won by playing precisely how you&#8217;d expect.

Beyond that, it&#8217;s a blanket; there&#8217;s a plethora of uses for a blanket. What use is there for The Persistence of Memory? It sits in a museum to be gawked at; it has for almost seventy years, since very shortly after it was painted. I don&#8217;t know if Dal\u00c3\u00ad got any money when the Museum of Modern Art got the painting, but I sincerely doubt money&#8217;s what he had in mind when he painted it. I&#8217;ve seen various interpretations of the painting, a popular one being that it has to do with the theory of relativity (something Dal\u00c3\u00ad denied). There&#8217;s a sharply limited number of ways to interpret the diyog\u00c3\u00ad: it&#8217;s a blanket. <\/p>\n<p>That is, I think, why we know Dal\u00c3\u00ad&#8217;s name and not that of the 1880s Navajo blanket-weaver: the difference between art and craft is the difference between needing to think about the work and needing to use it in order to appreciate it. &#8220;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/art\">art<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/humanities\">humanities<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/language\">language<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/slacktiverse\">slacktiverse<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chuck Klosterman: How an obscure junior college basketball game in North Dakota made history &#8211; Grantland &#8220;[S]omething crazy happened in this particular game.
