News You Can Bruise for 2004 June 4

Permalink [Comments] (1) Fri Jun 04 2004 23:09 Note About Old Paintings:

If you go to a place where they have a lot of old paintings, like the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, notice that no one in the portraits shows their teeth. Because their teeth were all rotten! Man, that must have sucked. That reminds me, I have to go brush my teeth.

Incidentally, the Rijksmuseum is under renovation and has a sort of "greatest hits" exhibition going in two big rooms, so you can get a discount and a much quicker tour that gets all the famous stuff, at the expense of not being able to see the non-famous stuff that's often more interesting.

Tsk, they should have paid the artist extra to paint bright white teeth. And encouraged societal trends towards smiling with open mouths and having bright white teeth. No wonder they're all dead.
