You'd think God could do better than Mary if that's what she looked like.

He doesn't look as bloody as you'd expect, being stabbed in the side and battered by whips. Hell, his brow doesn't show any signs of the thorns that were driven onto his head.

I understand it's just a myth, but can't we at least expect everyone to get the fundamentals right?

I've seen this movie, when will Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'toole get here

Snarcoleptic_Hoosier: That's funny, because I have a guy from Buffalo stashed under my couch.

As someone who buffalos guys Buffalo guys buffalo, I'm getting a kick.

I heard they found it under the couch at the ol' Pink.

He'll give you $350 but no more since it's just gonna sit on the shelf.

I get a Jack Pollock in my underpants every night.


My wife washes my undies separately from the rest of the family.

The Indians called it skid marks, I call it maize poop-corn.

What Michelangelo painting might look like.

I worked with a guy from Buffalo that was so drunk and distraught after the '91 Super Bowl, he showed up for work the next night with the same rumpled black suit on that he'd worn the night before. Except with no shoes or socks.

We spray painted his feet black, and propped him up in a corner for his shift.

Jesus as a white guy. Yep! That's Michelangelo!

Meh, he's from Buffalo. Balance of probabilities says he is sadly mistaken.

Rumor has it she was only 12 or 13 when she got knocked up, so I'd have to see an earlier painting of her before making a determination about His taste.

If he's really omniscient, he'd know what he was getting into.

Link (pops) as you shuffle off to Buffalo.

Actually, if you're coming to see the works of the masters in Buffalo, you might as well look at the Mental Hospital. You can see it from the Albright-Knox, not all the masters did paintings, some of them were architects.

Somebody helpa me. These midgets no good for nothing.

This thread, crucified in one!

I'm glad to see the painting ended up in the hands of someone who cleaned it and studied it. When this story first showed up on Fark a while back I said it looks like it really could be the real deal, nice to see that it looks like it really is.

There's a Frank Lloyd Wright place around the corner, too. Just east of Elmwood and Forest, I think. It's been a while, but I think it's at Bidwell and Forest.

Make me think of this:

I am in walking distance of that hospital. But since I am lazy I'd rather wander around fark instead.

Go Bills!

/Sign the painting. Maybe it can generate a pass rush.

My bet: This will eventually get authenticated. And then Italian officials will confiscate in order to repatriate a national treasure. Then, despite the fact that the painting has been confiscated, the persons doing the authentication and restoration will bill the owner for millions of dollars worth of services and the United States IRS will consider the painting part of the estate of the previous owner and assess a 50% tax based on the estimated value of the restored and authenticated painting, retroactively, with penalties and interest.

At which point the guy will realize he should have burned the damn ugly thing.

Damn, damn, DAMN that is an ugly painting. I guess everyone has bad days at work, even Michelangelo.

/He was a better sculptor than a painter anyway.

Priceless Michelangelo painting? I could do like 50 bucks, and I'm not even comfortable with that.
