There are so many things to learn in the real world that even a hundred lifetimes isn’t enough to explore them all. We don’t need to make things up. What makes the truth beautiful and wonderful is that it’s true. I think that’s magnificent, and more worthy of attention than any gods, ghosts, psychics or aliens could ever be.

| Annunciation by Filippo Lippi c. 1449–1459 National Gallery, London |
 |
Lippi was a reluctant friar and had a scandalous love affair with a nun, Lucrezia Buti, who bore his son Filippino Lippi and a daughter Alessandra. The couple were released from their vows and allowed to marry, but Lippi still signed himself ‘Frater Philippus’. His biography (romantically embroidered to include capture by Moorish pirates) is one of the most colourful in Vasari's Lives and has given rise to the picture of a worldly Renaissance artist, rebelling against the discipline of the Church. The painting depicts the Annunciation of Mary with the archangel Gabriel (left) and Mary (right). God, whose hand can be seen at the lunette's top is blessing Mary through the dove symbolizing the Holy Ghost. |

Upon closer examination, one can discern Lippi's interpretation of the event, wherein he depicts the Madonna's stomach as the location of her vagina. This portrayal signifies the flow of God's semen, symbolized by the cascading circles emanating from His hands (via the representation of the Holy Ghost as a dove), which then shoots out through the beak. This depiction serves as a clear indication of Lippi's cynicism. This was made by a man who knew how the world works (religion being used to control the populous) and he had the courage to take a chance and put it up there....not bad for the 1450s... |
........but it took about 500 years for the idea to catch on as in this vagina dress....... |

| Jupiter already gets a lot of attention for being the most massive planet in the solar system, but it could have been so much more, if not for a few missing features, it came achingly close to being its own star. Size does matter....We can all be stars if we put on enough weight...but not to worry as we might end up HERE |
