Sistine Chapel

From my 2nd favorite movie of all-time, Sean to Will Hunting: "So if I asked you about art, you would probably give me the skinny on ever art book ever written. Michelangelo, you know alot about him. Life's work, political aspirations, him and the pope, sexual orientations, the whole works, right? But I'll bet you can't tell me what it smells like in the Sistine Chapel. You've never actually stood there and looked up at that beautiful ceiling." I stood and I looked up.  The ceiling is beautiful but as overwhelming as the hoards of people in the chapel.  My creator did not give me the sense of smell, so I asked  Max, and he told me it smelled like holy water. I've studied it, I have seen it, and I am grateful. How you like them apples?
