It's Loonie, I Tell Ya

Artinfo reports the following:

A self-portrait of Michelangelo may have been discovered as part of a fresco that was restored recently in the Vatican’s Pauline Chapel.... The Vatican earlier announced that the restoration had been completed after five years at a cost of $5.2 million (Canadian).

I can honestly say I never gave much thought to what Michelangelo might have looked like. But this news story struck me: Because America truly has come to a sad pass if the Vatican is using Canadian dollars.
