    Well...you know. It's not like they didn't take to self-flagellation and mortification of the flesh in a big way. I would have thought cell groups were the next logical step....;)

    Man, I love an old-time reading of the good lord's Scripture.

    Angel giving some light relief
    What's that angel doing with her right hand and where is she directing her stare? That's a bit naughty and no way was it unintentional either. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I think that angel is male. The shoulders are too big for a female - at the time all females were portrayed with unnaturally sloping shoulders. Anyhow, she/he's certainly grasping that "rock" with some masculine vigor :D

    Well, you do have a point but it's always been my impression that he painted them all male, and just added boobs where necessary!

    Hmm. Male or female? Ok, I give in Bann. You're right....

    Is the second one (ignudo.jpg) supposedly female? Nope.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sistine_Chapel_ceiling#Ignudi
    The Ignudi are the 20 athletic, nude males that Michelangelo painted as supporting figures at each corner of the five smaller narrative scenes that run along the centre of the ceiling.

    Looks like it's Superman and Hercules against a college student, and the student will win because Jesus is his friend (but presumably doesn't make a cameo in the film)
    Actually, there's a scene after the credits where the student arrives home, finds Jesus waiting for him to recruit him for a new superhero team, the God Squad.

    Yon angels pictures above. Is the second one meant to be an angel? I ask, because it has nipples, and why would an angel need nipples?
