ToxicSlurpee posted:If memory serves a lot of church art was ultimately commissioned by wealthy people as a way to get into heaven. This was especially true of those people kneeling outside of paintings. Those were painted to be the people who commissioned the art to buy their way into God's good graces. In the case of paintings of baby Jesus with his mom sometimes the paintings would have the face of whoever paid for it put on baby Jesus. Which is unbelievable hubris.

So I guess this was Karma or something. Like a Monkey's paw or something. Some Noble ends up at the pearly gates. St. Peter hands him a mirror and he now looks like that fresco now.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Which is part of why old church art can look very weird in general. It was often painted to deliberately glorify the people that were paying for it. Which was ironic because they were often rich oligarchs or shithead nobles who were kind of going against what Jesus actually taught.

When they were trying to transport it off the island, the boat with the arms in it sank. They're currently sitting at the bottom of a bay. There's been a couple submersibles missions to try to find them, supposedly, but no luck so far

Command Ant posted:You have to post the video if you're going to bring him up. The gently caress did I just watch? Did Canada really have such an epidemic of war amputees that they needed a public service announcement telling soldiers not get their arms blown the gently caress off? On the other hand, if its aimed at kids, why the hell were swingsets made of spinning buzzsaws and lasers? For being our loving neighbor to the North, Canada sure is some kind of moose filled apocalyptic hellscape.

For being our loving neighbor to the North, Canada sure is some kind of moose filled apocalyptic hellscape. It was founded after the WW1 to provide services to war amps. There was another big crop of war amps after WW2. Then there was a dry spell. Maybe a few in Korea or the occasional peace keeping accident, but by the 80s we just weren't producing many war amps anymore. Rather than wither away the organization generalized to all amputees, especially child amputees, but they kept the name they'd been using for 60 years. In the 80s we didn't have playgrounds filled with buzz saws in Canada, but there were still plenty of dangerous toys like Lawn Darts and plenty of playground equipment that would probably be considered unsafe today.

Also moose can rip children's arms off. They are also enraged by the scent of poutine so most Canadian cities are a wartorn bloody nightmare.

I missed it as well, but I had the excuse of being a 4-year-old, and too young to understand the intricacies of television and it's abilities to lie to us. So I was just left wondering where the gently caress my house hippo was.
