Ha, ha!! I'm wondering if that's supposed to be a Bourbon biscuit in his mouth.

Her picture has probably already been programmed into the facial recognition software used by the Vatican police!

Yes! It looks like maybe around the mouth.

Ceri and I were wondering how she'd re-do the Sistine Chapel - a big blobby yellow bit for the almighty and then blobby, blobby, blobby? It almost looks a little impressionist-abstract interesting except for those eyes like my fourth grade students did last year? This is such an amazing train wreck of a story.

I know it's not funny....but, I can't keep from laughing.

I wonder when she finally decided that she'd better stop before things got worse?

I'd seen a picture of the painting before she got to it and another picture of it when she'd done a bit of scraping but her painting is just unbelievable! It looks like a yeti painted by Francis Bacon.

You've probably seen this but if you haven't it's really funny!

An elderly lady tried to restore a painting in her church.

One of my favorite comments is the bloke who said, "She should have told the priest that when she scraped the old paint off she found a Picaso underneath..."
