this & that Thursday

Secret Smile: The Mona Lisa has been around for a number of years but now thanks to infrared photography, scholars are speculating that Mona Lisa was with child. Apparently Leo had painted a gauzy garment over Lisa and that was the fashion for soon to be moms way back when. So, that's why she's smiling. But I thought Lisa was Leo in drag; oh, wait, that was what The DaVinci Code said.

Lost In Space: And now word comes from an Australian Audio Analyst (aren't the AAA letters already taken?) that Neil Armstrong did not say, "One small step for man" but "One small step for A man." Thanks to static and the limitations of the technology at the time, the word A was garbled. Armstrong had claimed he did say A but we just never got to hear it....until now.

peace,

paul
