Dear Alex, Alex Tew… Saturday, 25th March 2006 Yes, you… exactly! There’s no way of succeeding in talking to you!It’s almost easier to speak to the President of the United States himself! Why are you keeping the form in your site since you aren’t able to read the messages people are sending to you? My only hope is that by writing you from here, sooner or later you’ll read this message… I feel as if I’m throwing a bottle with a letter inside into the ocean! Alas! Anyway, I’d like to congratulate you for your brilliant idea and discuss with you a new, extraordinary (at least for me) site I’m going to launch. We could work on it together and maybe share profits! What do you think? That’s not a bad idea… I know… now you haven’t financial problems any more, your drawers are filled with socks, you can matriculate to 10 universities at the same time (Yale, Harvard, Mit, Cambridge, Oxford, etc.) and live on a private income for the rest of your life and just update your blog from time to time… You can’t waste your time with trifles! You are right, I can understand… But please, do not completely forget us, poor mortals! You are still made of flesh (and I hope it will be so for long) like everybody! We could share so many ideas and take so many extraordinary opportunities on this planet! Don’t you agree? And so, if you are there, please get in touch!... I’ve just thrown my bottle into the ocean! posted by Emiliano @ 03:24pm

Is preventing better than treating? Monday, 20th March 2006 “France is following a policy which clashes with the interests of the United States. As a gesture of détente and renewed spirit of co-operation we ask for the painting of the Mona Lisa to be handed over to our Embassy in Paris. Should our request not be met within 48 hours, we will consider some options in order to make France see sense”. That is what Secretary of State Conboleza Rise said to astonished reporters at a press conference. We cannot help wondering: “And now, whose turn will it be?” posted by Emiliano @ 07:04am

Is it OK like that? Wednesday, 1st March 2006 The economies of Western countries have been going through a crisis for some years. Factories are closing down, jobs are decreasing. People have a lot of difficulty in keeping going. Only prices and the number of unemployed are rising. To make both ends meet one has to ask for bank loans and try to economize on lighting, heating, food, and drugs. The few people who find a job in the public or private sector are engaged with time contracts and without rights: little money, no holidays, no days for illness allowed, and only one certainty: “If you don’t do what I say, I will sack you”. Well, all in all those who work should consider themselves lucky and cheer up thinking that “there are people who are worse off than me”. It’s cold comfort! Actually there are people who are worse! Don’t you believe that? Last week, behind the sparkling façade of its glass pyramid, the Louvre Museum dismissed an important “contract employee”. The only person who should have remained in office packed her things. Who? Do you want to know who? The lady who, for 30 years, 24 hours, 365 days per year, has had the heavy and unenviable responsibility of protecting the safety, preservation, and integrity of the most expensive and most famous painting of all time. This morning she has left her underpaid job: fired without notice by the head of the department, without retirement bonus, without a thankyou and without so much as a handshake. An exceptional woman has gone; she took with her the memory of the so many wakeful nights spent watching over the Mona Lisa, when the Louvre alarm signals were off for the sake of “maintenance”, the memory of the department head’s numerous rebukes for trifling reasons, and above all the indelible memory of that scoffing smile over which she has been watching for a lifetime. Next: this photo taken by a passer-by shows that important, menial victim of the economic crisis leaving with the only thing which she didn’ want to part with... posted by Emiliano @ 11:03am

Thank you, Ron! Monday, 27th February 2006 The agreement has been reached! After weeks of long, exhausting dealings at long last we came to an understanding! In the screen version of the Da Vinci Code a sequence will be shot which will leave us dumb-founded. In the sequence at issue the leading actor will be caught while making a search on the Internet. Suddenly, he will see a page opening which he will comment by saying: “That’s unbelievable!” and the home page of buymonalisapixels.com will be caught in the foreground for some seconds! What do you think about it? That’s not only unbelievable… that’s fantastic! posted by Emiliano @ 07:55am

What a master-stroke! Tuesday, 14th February 2006 We should have expected it. It was bound to happen sooner or later. This morning a madman left his signature (and what a signature!) on the most famous and the most celebrated painting in History: the Mona Lisa. The man, who was armed with an Uzi sub-machine-gun, walked undisturbed in the Louvre Museum without any of the very expensive metal detectors waking up from its perpetual sleep. After reaching the “strictly guarded” room where the painting is kept without rousing anybody’s suspicion (please note: anybody’s), and kindly apologizing to the dozens of tourists milling around the painting, he quickly found himself face to face with the Mona Lisa. As nonchalantly as a normal tourist would take out a camera from their breast pocket, the madman drew out the sub-machine-gun from a pocket of his raincoat, took his time to aim, squeezed the trigger and discharged the whole 500-pellet charger against the painting! We can think ourselves lucky that the double anti-atomic glass, which was so criticized by the admirers of the painting and cost a good 15 million dollars, did its duty… or nearly! Yes… Unfortunately, for a fortuitous play of rebounds, one of the 500 pellets managed to go through the double protection and, for an even more fortuitous case (when things are bound to go wrong…), instead of ending its destructive run on the frame or a non vital part of the painting it ricocheted several times just off Mona Lisa’s face! There are no words to describe… to describe… that dreadful disaster! The only thing which seems to have worked is the video control system of the museum. The whole sequence of the tragedy was recorded, including when the madman, after his crazy act, quietly turned round to one of the video cameras and shouted for satisfaction to the world and to eternity. posted by Emiliano @ 01:50pm

H’m, what a nice smell! Saturday, 11th February 2006 A pleasant surprise has been featuring at the Louvre Museum for the last few days. The over 20,000 tourists who file past the most famous painting of all time every day can now enjoy the spectacle provided by another extraordinary work of art, which has been put on display a few meters from the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. We cannot do without congratulating the persons in charge, who got the brilliant idea of regarding such an association as absolutely relevant. Moreover we know that the new work has been won in an online auction for an astronomical figure: 90,000,000 dollars! That is a really paltry amount considering the priceless artistic value of the work. The rather small size and the nature of the work might not let you imagine such an inestimable value, just the crowd and the flashes around the protection cords may let you suppose the presence of an object that is so out of the ordinary. Only after having been crowding for some minutes you manage to get near, and while at the sight of the object you may doubt whether it has been worth while elbowing your way through the crowd, the smell giving off from it will probably lead several people to dash to the toilet to throw up! Congratulations! posted by Emiliano @ 07:21am

Look closely, very closely! Wednesday, 8th February 2006 The color of her skin, the shape of her eyes… please watch the details of her face carefully…Well, yes! Mona Lisa was Chinese! An international board of experts and art critics have made this sensational discovery! With the aid of computer graphics, the analysis of somatic features and a careful study of historical sources dating back to the 16th century, it has been possible to establish with absolute certainty that Mona Lisa was a young Chinese entrepreneur. In the age of Leonardo, the Chinese spirit of enterprise was already taking its first steps in the European and international market. In order to promote a low cost line of clothing, Mona Lisa married a young, established merchant of Florence, Francesco del Giocondo, and to advertize herself (at the time satellite TV hadn’t been created yet) she had her portrait done by the most famous artist of the period: Leonardo da Vinci. What an ingenious woman! We had always believed Mona Lisa was only a Florentine noblewoman… how simple we were… posted by Emiliano @ 03:47pm

Mona Lisa Shock Monday, 6th February 2006 According to the shocking revelations of a former agent of the secret services, what thousands of tourists admire every day at the Louvre Museum in Paris would not be the authentic painting of the Mona Lisa, but a rough reproduction! Its original would be hidden in the vault of the Louvre because an irresponsible restauration attempt carried out in the middle of the seventies would have damaged the famous painting by Leonardo irreparably. Right, we are publishing for the first time in the Internet a disconcerting photo showing how serious the damage caused by the solvents used on the Mona Lisa has been. posted by Emiliano @ 03:56pm

Hey, hey, hey! Friday, 3rd February 2006 “Dear Mona Lisa, my name is Einstein, Albert Einstein. I got to know from my friend Emiliano that you are determined to become more famous than I am: just get it out of your head! You are doing nothing all the time, just sitting and staring fixedly at people with your enigmatic smile, while I have changed the world with my theory! It’s time for you to stop it! Get down off that chair and go to cook! Otherwise I’ll buy a 1000-pixel batch and stick it on your forehead! Signed: Albert Einstein.” posted by Emiliano @ 06:52am
