Apologies if you've all seen this before, but it's new to me and I felt like sharing.

How can we be certain that Michelangelo was gay?

Because if he'd been straight, he'd have painted the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in white, with a roller :D

Seriously, that's awesome.

What, paint naked people all over the inside of a church?

Awesome. It's fantastic. But TBH I can't cope with the beauty of holiness.

There's a lovely Primitive Methodist chapel not far from where I live, in a tiny spot called Stanwardine in north Shropshire, between here and Ellesmere. It's one of Shropshire's hidden gems. It has a clay brick tablet on the outside with the verse:

'Come in thou blessed of the Lord,
Wherefore standest thou without?'

...and its simplicity does far more for me that the Sistine Chapel, beautiful as it is.
