Pro-tip: If you see a baby being sold in a window for over $80,000, it may not be real.
A recent and unusual Park Avenue (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-new-york-art-baby/thats-art-baby-turns-heads-in-manhattan-auction-house-window-idUSKBN1D93ET) window display featuring an absurdly lifelike baby sculpture has captured the attention of New Yorkers walking by. Scores of people, convinced that the baby is real and concerned for its welfare, have become so anxious that they've gone as far as alerting the store's manager.
See, New Yorkers can be nice.
