Old Mike was so pissed, he painted Biaggio among the damned as a demon with donkey ears and a snake biting his balls.

Very "ninja"-y of him LOL! And apparently he was a bit of a poet, too. I've read bits of some of his poetry- very mushy stuff directed at a female friend, which makes me sort of doubt the rumors that he was gay....

I slept through my entire art history class... had I known that Michelangelo was a badass, I would've made more of an effort to stay awake. But I doubt my professor would've covered it anyway. Made Hogwarts' Professor Binns look like freaking Neil deGrasse Tyson.
