Mona Lisa may have been suffering from high cholesterol
Mona Lisa’s famous smile may have been the result of fatty acids gathered around her eye socket suggesting her high cholesterol levels, according to an Italian medical expert.
Vito Franco, Professor of Pathological Anatomy at the University of Palermo, who has been studying art masterpieces for evidence of disease and illness, alleged some of the world’s greatest works of art revealed signs of illness.
“I look at art with a different eye from an art expert, much as a mathematician listens to music in a different way from a music critic,” a website quoted him as saying.
Professor Franco, who presented his findings at a European congress on human pathology in Florence, said he had found evidence of a range of afflictions in not only aristocrats but also Madonnas, angels and mythical heroes.
The Madonna del Parto by Piero della Francesca appears to have a goitre, or swelling of the thyroid gland, on her neck “typical of people who drank water from a well in certain areas” in medieval times, it was claimed.
Professor Franco also claims that Michelangelo’s own ailment that he diagnoses as kidney stones; seem to come to surface in Raphael’s School of Athens where he appears with strangely swollen and knobbly knees. Advertisement

KRK takes on SRK on Twitter
Despite managing a measly 63 followers in a day, Bhojpuri actor Kamal Rashid Khan predicts he will gather more followers than Shah Rukh in a month; incidentally SRK already has over 30,000 in 2 days
There may be glory in being the real Shah Rukh Khan, but it does not hurt to be a fake one either.
For even a fake SRK attracts over 1,000 followers on Twitter compared to a real KRK, who is yet to reach even the three-figure mark.
On Saturday, SRK began tweeting for the first time. Within an hour, a prankster claiming to be the real SRK was also on the micro-blogging site, and over time the pretender to the throne managed to fool hundreds of King Khan fans into following him.
Then, yesterday, as netizens tried hard to distinguish between the real star and the fake, Bhojpuri actor and Bigg Boss contestant Kamal R Khan also jumped into the fray.
Numbers game
In only his second tweet, KRK went on to challenge Shah Rukh, saying he would have more followers than him in a month. Kamal's first tweet read, "The real KRK is here.
Please don't follow any other fake KRK. Main hi saccha hun." He challenged SRK a few hours later: "Main @iamsrk (Shah Rukh Khan) KO challenge karta hun.
1 mahine mein mere usse zyada followers honge. i don't have any @Kjohar25 (Karan Johar) behind me."
The number of followers of the real SRK on Twitter (@iamsrk) stood at 30,318, at the time of going to press, while the pretender (@imsrk) had attracted 1,844 of the star's fans.
The followers of KRK (@iamKRK) numbered a measly 63.Battle of the clones
The tweeting maze doesn't end here. There was another KRK out there on Twitter yesterday called @imkrk.
This one had the words 'Of course, a FAKE profile!!!' on his page and he took on the fake SRK in the opening tweet, asking him to "learn from me. have a profile image". He spelt his name 'Kamaal'.
Verified accounts
Meanwhile, a blog hosted by Twitter to track fakes said it planned to introduce 'verified accounts' to protect users from impostors.
Quoting Twitter co-founder Biz Stone, it said, "We do recognise an opportunity to improve Twitter user experience and clear up confusion beyond simply removing impersonation accounts once alerted."
Stone added that verified accounts would feature a special seal that would be introduced with a beta preview in the coming months for a select set of people.
These people will include public officials, public agencies, famous artists, athletes, and other well-known individuals at risk of impersonation.
"This doesn't mean accounts without any verification seal are fake.
The vast majority of Twitter accounts are not impersonators, Another way to determine authenticity is to check the official website of the person for a link back to their Twitter account," said Stone.
The Twitter page of Karan Johar (kjohar25) already displays the 'verified account' seal.
As for the fake SRK, he kept tweeting all through, even lifting the actor's tweets.
To make it all appear genuine, the fake SRK, like the real one, is also following Karan Johar the real one. Just for the record, Johar was the one who prodded SRK to take to Twitter. Advertisement
Michelle Obama's 'racist' chimp picture reappears online
A caricature of US First Lady Michelle Obama as a chimpanzee has reappeared on the Internet, two months after the morphed "racist" picture first provoked a major controversy.
The image has now been reappearing at the top of the results when the words "Michelle Obama" are put into Google's picture search engine.
Despite complaints that it is "racist", the US Internet giant has refused to remove the offensive image from its picture search listings, citing its commitment to "free expression", the media reported.
Instead, Google is running an advertisement next to the picture which explains how its search engine works and concedes that sometimes the results could be "offensive".
However, the image was eventually withdrawn by Hot Girls, a blog hosted by the Google-owned Blogger, on which it was appearing in November last year.
A spokesman for Google then said that the company was looking into why that was happening for some users and that it was not a "deliberate" action to remove the explanation. "We would generally keep it (the explanation) up for as long as the blog (hosting the content) was up."
Google had warned, however, that the image of the US First Lady could easily reappear in its listings if another blog posted it.
Google handles nearly two thirds of all net searches in the US and it uses a complex algorithm to decide which web pages should come up first when a user goes for a search on its engine. Advertisement
