This item is relatively old (the original reference is from the JAMA in 1990), but I hadn't seen it before...so wanted to pass it along for other visual mystery fans. The question is: did Michelangelo paint God over an image representing the mid-sagittal outline of the human brain, and if so, why?



Here's another article on the subject from the BBC.

Thanks to Lee for the pointer. BTW, it seems that Lee is a recent convert to Bloglines too, writing:

The nice thing about Bloglines is I don't have to plow through a bunch of posts I've already read at one computer when I switch to another.

The one bummer is that Bloglines quickly gets you in the habit of reading entries in its style-stripped bare RSS reader, since you have to do two clicks to launch the weblog itself...the first shows you all the recent entries. But since Bloglines has a feature that lets you export your feeds in OPML, I've at least not had to worry about building up a resource that is tool-dependent.
