    Fun fact, shrinkage is a fear response, because dangling while running for you life makes it just that much harder to run for your life.

      Because he had perfect faith in the lord, David would have canonically had a stiffy

  huh, this is the first time I hear that Michelangelo’s David is referring to biblical David.

  I mean, I never thought about it…or really looked into it, for that matter. I thought the David statue was of a model named David.

  Explanation: The Renaissance was a time of great progress in Europe with regards to specialization, technical proficiency, anatomical knowledge, and cultural appreciation. This gave rise to a (small) professional artist class which created many of the great works of the period, many of which are still admired today. One of the great patrons in this period was the Catholic Church…

  … which sometimes clashed with the very, uh, ‘interested’ depictions of the human body preferred by said artist class. But once the work is completed, what can you do about it, really? :)

      NSFW I guess

    What you do is you nail little marble fig leafs onto the parts of marble you don’t want people to see.

    And then you continuously yell at tourists to shut the heck up while they admire the pretty picture on your ceiling.
