Nice panthers. I hope that’s not a cougar in the middle.

Reminiscent of Katy Perry riding a gold tiger at last night’s halftime show.

I was skeptical about these being Michelangelos. (The panthers are NOT impressive . . . though that may have been because he never had a live panther to look at for a model. If he was working from skins and other artists' drawings, he couldn't be expected to produce a lifelike panther.) However, I looked at more photos and found this one (will post) that totally convinced me. To put it bluntly, Michelangelo did an awesome male gluteus maximus . . . and this is so like all his others that I'm convinced. Check it out:
