If you look closely at the angels who attend the scary prophetess on the Sistine ceiling known as the Cumaean Sibyl, you will see that one of them has stuck his thumb between his fingers in that mysteriously obscene gesture that visiting fans are still treated to today at Italian football matches. It means something along the lines of: how would you like this inserted into your rectum, ragazzo?

Holding torches, some 3,500 people form the sign of peace during an anti-war peace rally in Heroes Square, in fort of the Millennium Memorial, rear, in central Budapest, Hungary, Saturday, March 18, 2006. The rally was organized by the Peace Chain movement to mark the third anniversary of the US-led invasion of Iraq.

A judge halted sales of Notorious B.I.G.'s breakthrough 1994 album "Ready to Die" after a jury decided the title song used part of an Ohio Players tune without permission.
The jury Friday awarded $4.2 million in punitive and direct damages to the two music companies that own rights to Ohio Players recordings.
The sales ban imposed by U.S. District Judge Todd Campbell affects the album and the title song in any form, including Internet downloads and radio play.
The jury decided that Bad Boy Entertainment and executive producer Sean "Diddy" Combs illegally used a part of the Ohio Players' 1992 song "Singing In The Morning."

In this send-up of "Monopoly," players don't pass "Go" and they don't go directly to jail - they go to Guantanamo Bay.
Instead of losing cash for landing on certain squares, they lose civil liberties. And the "Mr. Monopoly" character at the center of the board is replaced by a scowling former Attorney General John Ashcroft.
"Patriot Act: The Home Version" pokes fun at "the historic abuse of governmental powers" by the recently renewed anti-terrorism law.
But while it may be fun, creator Michael Kabbash, a graphic artist and Arab civil rights advocate, is serious about how he feels the law has curtailed Americans' freedom.
Tupac Shakur will join the ranks of celebrities sculpted in wax at Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas, the city where he was killed in a drive-by shooting nearly 10 years ago.
The 55-pound figure will go on display April 5 at The Venetian hotel-casino, it was announced Thursday. The slain rap star will be depicted shirtless, sporting a bandanna and proudly displaying his tattoos.
Shakur's precise measurements are being reconstructed by sculptor Jeni Fairey - the woman behind the museum's wax Beyonce - with the help of photos provided by Tupac's mother, Afeni Shakur.
Italian journalist and former hostage in Iraq, Giuliana Sgrena, marches to Navona Square in central Rome March 18, 2006 in a demonstration marking the third anniversary since the invasion of Iraq. Thousands of anti-war protesters marched through Rome on Saturday, three years after the invasion of Iraq, calling for U.S. and British troops to pull out.

A Dutch bank got a bonus on Thursday when police turned up with its stolen Van Gogh painting during an earnings news conference.
"The Pollard Willow" was one of the last works the Dutch painter made in Nuenen in 1885 before leaving the southern region of the Netherlands where he was born.
The still life on a wooden panel, valued at several million euros, was stolen from a meeting room at F. van Lanschot Bankiers' Den Bosch headquarters in May 1999 in a heist police still have yet to solve.
NBC and Discovery Networks are ending their four-year arrangement to program the Saturday-morning kids programming block.
The network is pulling the plug on Discovery Kids in September, ending the rent-out of the block to the cable company, which provided series recycled from its Discovery Kids channel, including "Darcy's Wild Life" and "Flight 29 Down."
The NBC-Discovery break-up, though deemed amicable by sources, is the second such parting between partners on Saturdays. In January, CBS and Nickelodeon disclosed they were dropping their "Nick on CBS" co-venture in September after seven years together. Nick will be replaced by a block supplied by DIC Entertainment.
Seven residents of a Uruguayan town were killed on Friday when they were run over by a train they were moving manually as part of a reality television show aimed at raising funds for a local hospital, police said.
Several hundred townspeople from Young, about 235 miles west of the capital of Montevideo, were hauling a locomotive and two attached cars down a track - pushing and pulling from different sides - when some participants fell under the wheels, said a police department spokesman.
The residents were taking part in the program "A Challenge to the Heart," in which Uruguayan communities can raise funds for local charities by completing difficult tasks set by the network, in this case moving a train a certain distance down railroad tracks.

Australia said "bloody well done" on Saturday after Britain's television advertising regulator lifted a ban on an Australian tourism campaign centered on the slightly risqu?hrase "bloody hell."
The Broadcasting Advertising Clearance Center had banned the ads from British television because of concerns over the campaign's use of the word "bloody" and ordered censored ads run in their place.
However Australian Tourism Minister Fran Bailey, who flew to London to save the campaign, said on Saturday the regulators had agreed the ads could go ahead in their original form.
A group of mostly white seventh and eighth graders sleepily sauntered into their school library, soon to get a surprise awakening about a part of their town's history they never knew existed.
"Did anybody in this room know there were 60 enslaved Africans, people, human beings, buried a mile from here?" Alan Singer, a professor at Hofstra University, asked them. "Those people have been erased from history. It is as if they never existed."
Singer and Mary Carter, a retired middle school social studies teacher, were in Oyster Bay recently to speak to the kids - part of a quest to develop a public school curriculum guide focusing on slavery's impact in the northern U.S., specifically New York.
Singer, who is a social studies education professor, uses 18th and 19th century newspaper ads from slave owners seeking help in capturing their runaway slaves on Long Island, as well as diaries and other publications to document the slave trade in New York.

For the first time in more than 50 years, an eagle has laid an egg in a nest on Santa Cruz Island, wildlife biologists announced Thursday.
They say the bird and its mate's first breeding attempt marked a significant milestone in their four-year effort to reintroduce the eagles to the island off the California coast. They're cautiously optimistic about the prospects of a chick hatching in the next few weeks.
The last known successful nesting of a bald eagle on the four Northern Channel Islands was in 1949 on Anacapa Island.
King Floyd III, the soul singer and songwriter best known for his 1970 hit "Groove Me," died March 6 of complications from a stroke and diabetes, his record label said. He was 61.
As a young man, Floyd sometimes sang with the house band at the Sho-Bar on Bourbon Street. After serving in the Army, he tried to launch a career as an entertainer. On the West Coast, Floyd met Harold Battiste, a fellow New Orleans expatriate who was an established producer and band leader.
Battiste produced Floyd's debut album, "A Man in Love," which featured songs written with Mac "Dr. John" Rebennack. The album did not fare well, and in 1969 Floyd returned to New Orleans and took a job with the post office to support his family.
A year later, Wardell Quezergue, an arranger of R&B scores, brought Floyd to the Jackson, Miss., office of Malaco Records where he recorded a song he had written, "Groove Me," during the same session that Jean Knight recorded her classic "Mr. Big Stuff."
Atlantic Records picked up the song and promoted it nationally. It reached No. 1 on the R&B chart and No. 6 on the pop chart.
