1. This is very interesting news!
I'm very skeptical, mostly because we'll never know for sure and their argument rests entirely on their own interpretations.

That being said, good for them! :) It's all about POV.

2. Michaelangelo did a lot of "secret" autopsies..so it would not be too
surprising for him to have representations of human anatomy in his art. They would have to be hidden since his explorations were against Church teachings.

3. Very interesting.
Thanks Lib, for posting. I'm re-reading the Da Vinci Code, so this will be very interesting to cross-reference.
