Stick your professional designed bragging. Just because I think this is meaningless, and who cares if a painting that was painted hundreds of years ago, that the model was pregnant or not pregnant, has nothing to do with nothing. Crap your own stupid ignorance.

First of all, you asked who cared, and I answered. Is it really that important to you that everyone else's view comports to your own? Second, you didn't write your first post as your opinion, you stated it as fact. The fact that something may not affect our lives does not necessarily limit our interest. Who wins the Super Bowl or a NASCAR race may not affect our lives, but it does matter to some people, now doesn't it? How the pyramids were built may not really change our day to day activities, but some people are interested in the subject, aren't they?

Second, as a retired military man, certain small but interesting facts of history might pique your curiosity, do you agree? You might find whether or not Napoleon sat out Waterloo with hemorrhoids interesting, where others might be bored, for example. Third, the article was not only about the model's physical state but also about Da Vinci's techniques of layering paint.

Finally, now really, just because you or I or anyone else isn't interested in a particular subject doesn't mean anyone else should give a flying rip about that person's opinion, does it?
