If you ever get a chance to go to Milan, find your way to Santa Maria delle Grazie - the old monastery/nunnery where da Vinci painted this.

It's faded, but still quite impressive. It's about 30 feet wide and 15 feet tall. When you see it in full size, you'll realize Dan Brown was right about one thing: there is *no way* that the person to the right of Jesus is a dude, though it has always been reported to be St. John the Devine.

A guy who could draw a perfect circle with either hand, who could write in mirrored script, and a whole host of other things, would not have had a "woopsie" and made a dude look like a chick. Zero chance.

Jesus and most of the Apostles appear to be Caucasian in The Last Supper, as opposed to Semitic/Abrahamic.

Michelangelo depicts an uncircumcised David in his statue. (Yes I realize there is some minor controversy regarding this) The original David would have been circumcised.

The Renaissance was an amazing time filled with amazing artists but sometimes their knowledge of subject mater 1,500-2,500 years and 1,000 miles removed, proved lacking.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.

Hello,

Am I reading your post correctly to say that the Tsavo rifle will be coming out with a composite stock later this year? I ask because I had been looking very hard for a Tsavo, but if there is going to be a composite stock model I will wait for that.

Thank you for your time,

Andrew
