Michelangelo's "Brain" --
This morning, I watched the new #4 and Gleaves was clever in moving the image of a brain (contoured in dominoes) to the image of God Awakening Adam from the Sistine Chapel.  That God is -- or is within -- a brain was stunning.  It was so obvious, how could it not have been seen by others?  So, I googled it and found this link from an AP European History class at Ft. Lauderdale High School
