High-Res 'Last Supper' Reveals Leonardo's Secrets

"For a close-up on the workings of a genius, Marani recommended viewers search the Last Supper for the church bell tower and shrubs outside the windows, the patterns and wrinkles in the tablecloth, the reflection of an orange wedge in a pewter plate in front of Matthew and the perspective lines in the upper left-hand corner that lead (imperfectly) to Jesus' eye."

".....team stitched together 1,677 panoramic images of the 15-foot-by-29-foot painting using two quad-core AMD Opteron processors, 16 GB of memory and a 2-terabyte hard disk."

" 'It's exciting to see just how technology can show what you wouldn't normally be able to see'.......'But it's not meant to substitute for the real thing. Seeing it on a computer screen will never be the same as standing in front of Leonardo's work.' "

Booooo!!!

I really wish the Rockies had won. It would have shown that you couldn't just buy a baseball team and win the World Series. Its not fair how you can just load up a bullpen with amazing pitchers and basically bully your way into glory.

P.S. - Playing with a DH is cheating.
