Found this on a website while I was rummaging around for examples of Leonardo da Vinci's mirror writing (don't ask):
"The beginning of the sixteenth century is the most famous period of Italian art. It was the time of Michelangelo, Raphael, Dürer, Holbein, Giorgione, Titan, Correggio and many other famous masters."
And it was such a nice-looking site, too.

Re: Gotta Love the Internet....
See, this is what worries me. We can catch mistakes like this because we have a little knowledge. But what about other things. The other day I cited something that turned out to be wrong---I should have known better and wouldn't have used the source in a paper, but still. Libraries are good because the people deciding what books to buy are trained and have resources to help them make sure the library is spending its money wisely. We can try to assess the reliability of a website, but if one is truly ignorant about a topic then how can you even do that? Okay, sorry to get so serious.Nanohedron wrote:Found this on a website while I was rummaging around for examples of Leonardo da Vinci's mirror writing (don't ask):

She has very distinctive facial features. And she sings pretty. I like her.fearfaoin wrote:Learn something new every day...Cranberry wrote:That's Fiona Maggart, better known as Fiona Apple (Apple is actually her middle name).
I thought it might be, but I wasn't sure. She looked quite
different in the newer pictures I saw when her album was
leaked, but that was a while ago.
