    Default This is a fake!

    Contemporary copy of the Mona Lisa found, verifying legitimacy of City of Death.

    Link to news story to be added below by somebody less lazy than me...

    Okay here's the link.

    It seems that there's already loads of other copies from this period too so maybe it's not quite as exciting as I thought.

    But the replica doesn't seem to exactly replicate the original - there is a mound of rock which 'dives down' into the line of her neck, where-as in the original it just passes behind her. So surely this is of dubious use?

    I prefer the original. Her dark smile seems much more enigmatic.

    There seems to be some kind of path in the original too that has vanished in the copy!

    Is this one a fake too?

    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    Not sure, but she looks a bit like a Slitheen there. Oh... it's a veil. I never noticed she wore a veil. Actually... it's not even all that good really is it? I wonder why so much fuss is made over this one painting that doesn't appear to be particularly any better than loads of others.
