Mona Lisa's remains 'now in rubbish tip'

first of all, it's not even proven that this woman was the model for da vinci's painting, and secondly, even if it were, they can't be sure that this is the woman they've unearthed. so, really, where's the news?

It's the basis for a book for arty-farty types, that's all. And fills space for newspapers.

Yep, you heard it people, this FAIL is 30 years old.

I like it. Personally, considering this was painted in the mid 1500's this is an amazing testament to mans development of the arts.
