Have you talked to Plato about whether he'd like to donate anything--like maybe his skeleton--to science when he goes to the Big Outback Up Top?

A gall bladder, perhaps. Plato is a fuzzball of compassion.

Didn't Michelangelo paint Plato on the ceiling of the Cistine chapel once?

Yes. Alas, it was thought too sexually suggestive, so the original was altered to put a man in Plato's place. All that we have now is Junior's blasphemous representation. Perhaps he'll post it for us.

That's right! Tease the organ-gimp! (These threads can get very un-PC.)

Couldn't find Plato but I do have this cool shot of God pointing at Adam...

I think it was "Godel" who posted the "Platy on the Chapel Ceiling" jpg.
