Everyday Mind Freak 1/24/2011


Everyday mind freak 1/24/2010: the Mona Lisa doesn't have eyebrows. In Renaissance Florence shaving off your eyebrows was what was hot on the streets.

Update: Research has shown that the Mona Lisa did in fact have eyebrows at one time. The loss of the top paint layers with the eyebrows is the unfortunate result of restoration and cleaning techniques. Still mind freaky.
