David's Birthday Suit

Saw David when I was in Florence back in '95 with my girlfriend.  It's pretty fucking amazing.  Anyway, this very naked man was unveiled on this date in 1504.

To mark the occassion here's Philomena Cunk giving us some deep analysis:

If you manage to look past his little marble goolies, you'll notice there's an incredible amount of detail all over the rest of Michelangelo's body. His eyes have pupils in them like a Furby does. 

His muscles are really detailed. Look at his abs. They prove gyms are bullshit because they didn't have gyms back then, but look how toned he is. Then there's the realistic veins in the back of his hands, carrying statue blood to his fingers. 

Yet, despite all this attention to detail, a quick inspection of his back half reveals he doesn't have an anսs. It's a baffling omission. Maybe the sculptor got embarrassed or the model had to leave early that day, or didn't actually have an anսs. We just don't know.

Happy birthday, buddy.
