SaintCast #41 – Secret on the Sistine Ceiling?
Did Michelangelo paint the “Creation of Adam,” or the “Endowment of the Soul?” Click on the picture to reveal perhaps a secret in the ceiling. With clips from the Agony and the Ecstasy, we discuss how one physician came to a startling conclusion. St. Jeopardy returns, and lots of feedback on the SaintCast this week.

I think Libsyn is being cranky again…
I can’t download the Saintcast OR (ahem) the NEW SQPN show that we aren’t supposed to know about yet, but if you look at iTunes, you will know…
You’re right, Naomi. I suspect a problem with Libsyn, as I was able to successfully download it earlier today. Hopefully it will be cleared up soon. . .
Libsyn’s back up fine now. They were apparently down a bit for maintenance.
I am still getting a little exclamation mark (!) in iTunes… should I wait until tomorrow, Paul?
I was able to get it last night, so you might try later today.
This is one you don’t want to miss, that is for certain!
Paul, did you put the full citation of that article about the Creation/Endowment of Adam on the Saint Cast Web site? I work at a large research library, and I’d like to see the original material.
Thank you for the visual overlay; it really is fascinating and beautiful.
AAAUGH. Never mind. Just found the JAMA citation in the BBC article.
My body got up at 5:30 AM, my brain seems to have gone back to bed.
Mark,
The first file I uploaded was sampled at the wrong rate (geek news) so I sounded like a chipmunk when you clicked the blue arrow. I redid it but if iTunes tried to download it while the old file was up, it probably won’t reload the new file. I think you’ll have to download using the above link, or unsubscribe then resubscribe to the podcast in iTunes. Then it should work.
Paul
hi,
Heard a news item on the eye being the mirror of the soul. I send an email about this just before this show to Paul. Paul found this: Scientists discover that eyes really are ‘the window to the soul’ | the Daily Mail.
Anybody any additional feedback?
Here’s the link.

Thanks paul!
Tried to put in the link but I didn’t manage to.
