(no subject)
I dont really have anything to say right now. Im only posting this because it's something I think is interesting and I'm afraid might forget about it later on. I dont know if any of you can access it at home but whatever, its really for me and not for you folks. If you' cant access it, since its a Nature article that you need a subscription for, I can send you the pdf file. Anyway its about this painting called The Flagellation, and its been a big mystery for centuries. Theres 7 figures in the painting and no one knows who they are. Recently these two dudes came up with a theory about their identities and hidden codes in the painting etc. Its very "Da Vinci Code"-esque but for real.
They're releasing a book about it this year and Im interested in reading it, but im scared that I might have forgotten about it by hthe time that its published, so thats why Im posting the links.

PS Im in the Education Mac Lab and I hate Macs. They have an F13 key. F13!!!! Thats like...the Friday the 13th key. Macs are evil.
Most people dont really know where the whole stigma about Friday the 13th comes from. I actually read that it came from the idea that there was a coven of witches and there were 13 of them; the 13th witch was named Friday and she was evil and ooooooooo Friday the 13th is scary. That's bullshit. It actually comes from the date that the Knights Templar were betrayed by the Pope and ordered to be killed. It was Friday the 13th in the year 1307. Since then, Friday the 13th has had this "bad luck" vibe to it. It certainly was bad luck to the Templars. Wikipedia says that it isnt true but my History professor who is an expert on the Medevial Church, confirmed it. So it is true. Interesting note: last day of classes this year = Friday the 13th. OoOoOohhhh
