When the artist David Hensel was told that his sculpture of a laughing face had been selected for the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition, he was thrilled. But his delight turned to puzzlement when he searched the show high and low before discovering that only its plinth was on display.

Somewhere during the selection process - when Royal Academicians choose from among nearly 10,000 works submitted for inclusion by members of the public - the head and the base were separated. And it emerged yesterday that the selectors had judged each on its merits. They admired the plinth enormously but rejected the head.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

No, you know, the belief that there was a god who created the universe, but that god doesn't watch over us, isn't involved in our lives and hurricanes and such.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Yeah, that's the Deist point of view. As far as I know, there's no special term for the deity in that point of view.
