The title should have said "gifts", but I think I like it better this way.

I would argue that any fool can plainly see that a hot dog roller is fine art.

I love looking at Renaissance paintings where animals are involved because 9/10 it is the shape of an animal with a human expression or something that doesn't look remotely similar.

I've been led to believe that the artists were commissioned to make the animals look as massive as possible, so that it would boost the status of the farmer who owned the animals.
