Veni Vidi DaVinci...

There has been quite the dust up lately about the possibility that hidden within Leonardo DaVinci's "Last Supper" might be a depiction of Christ blessing the bread and wine, causing so many hits to topical websites they crashed. Some random IT guy named Slavisa Pesci has figured that by taking an image of the painting, reversing it, and superimposing it on the original image you will see bread, a chalice, a baby, a Knights Templar, and I swear, Jimmy Hoffa.

Of course, being the pragmatist, I look and can't see anything. Even when I saw the version where what I was supposed to see was circled. And besides, I know DaVinci was one helluva clever guy but - C'MON! Don't you think if Leo were that clever Dan Brown would have already put it in the book?

So I'm chalking this up to be the likes of the eBay auction of a half-eaten piece of cheese on toast showing the Virgin Mary, or kooks that see Elvis' face etched in a rock.

And just like Dorothy in Season 4 of the series The Golden Girls when she gets thrown out of the Elvis Appreciation Club for not seeing Elvis face in the piece of meat, I ain't playin'.
