Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

da Vinci? I thought the Pietá was a sculpture by Michaelangelo. :-?
Oops! Right you are. I'm a bit muzzy today; thanks for the correction. I knew it was one of those long-gone artsy types...

'Tis, to be sure.
A common mistake though.

I think Pietá may be as common a name for art as Et in Arcadia Ego.

My son went through one of those phases as well.

Speaking of fuzzy - mindedness, I once tried to charm a young lady by informing her that her expression reminded me of Mona Lisas portrait of Leonardo Da Vinci... :oops:

There was drink involved ,of course :roll:

Just noticed, they have nothing in the way of natural resources over at the Pipe board. Plus the Flute board is already in a strategicaly better position, being one notch up, so there's not much point in going to war is it?
