Art historians this week theorised that the Mona Lisa is in fact a self-portrait of Leonardo da Vinci. I see what they mean: when people met him in real-life, they always found he was a lot smaller than they expected…

PROFESSOR:

DORA:
I don't like it. It's creepy.
PROFESSOR:
Now we can solve the Mona Lisa enigma! Check his skull.
F/X:TAPPING OF SKULL
DORA:
Yep, just as we expected: the measurements prove the Mona Lisa is indeed a feminised self-portrait.
PROFESSOR:
Fantastic! Another one of his enigmas solved! Ow!

F/X
ICKING UP OF BOOK

F/X:FLICKING THROUGH OF BOOK
