As I learned also from the rececent article Emily likes the history channel-) So on this day 450 years Michelangelo died The Divine Michelangelo ( BBC Docu) ( Part 1) ( Part 2) The Sistine Restored ( In 1988 my class travelled to Rome and we visited the Sistine Capel in the midst of restoration. It was quite a shock to see the original dazzling colours on the one side and the smoked grey colours over the centuries on the other side, you had known from books. At a first shocked reaction one classmate compared the original to Disney-) I liked the book by Irving Stone about Michelangelo and recommend it. www.amazon.com/The-Agony-Ecstasy-Biographical-Michelangelo/dp/0451171357

As I learned by Quincy Jones Justin Bieber got 20 yesterday.
Happy 20th Birthday Justin Bieber. As your 80-year-old-friend, my only advice is to cherish your mistakes, learn as you grow, and approach your success with grace and humility. Your fellow Canadian Wobble-Oney Nikki Yanofsky made you a happy birthday video:
There seem to be some irony and poison in this greetings-) as one comment on facebook put it " greetings and the a song version that kills"
