|Marcel Duchamp (my favourite artist of the 20th century) did several
|Mona Lisa defacements, including one where he wrote the caption
|"L.H.O.O.Q." underneath an otherwise untouched copy of the painting.

Hmm.

Have they? I must have missed them. It just irritates me that people can
take a great piece of ASCII Art and deface it with these, mostly
distasteful, comments and captions. Perhaps Tran should try his hand at one
of JRO's Add a Caption Competitions, after all that *is* what those pictures
are for.

As for letting it go, well we'll see.
