Okay, it's gonna take more than 15 minutes to fix this. It is not as if I actually HIT the deer, it is more like the deer was on a mission of self-destruction. I saw the deer (several of them), and they were stopped or jumping fences to my left, so that was good. I slowed down, made sure none of them were going to dart out in front of me, but obviously one decided to dart out on the side of me. It sounded (probably) worse than it actually was, unless of course you were the deer with the new membership in the hemlock society. Ugh! Poor thing, not sure how badly it was hurt, and hitting deer in the dark is one of my big fears driving home after dark. Danggit!Michelangelo's David is one of the world's best-known statues, and represents the artist's ideal human form-even though critics have long wondered why the "ideal human form" would have such disproportionately small "private parts." David is 13 feet high and placed on a pedastal so admirers have to look up at it. But according to Pietro Bernabei, writing in the Italian journal Il Giornale dell'Arte, viewing David's face head-on, his blank expression changes to one of fear and worry. This makes sense-the statue depicts David just before his fight with the giant Goliath. And in a bit of dark humor, it explains the figure's "shrinkage": Male genitals typically recede when the body is under stress. It's like the Seinfeld episode.
