Art & Anatomy

I don't know how many of us attended the lecture on Wed. given by a radiologist, but he showed this image from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel where God is touching the finger of Adam. You might have noticed the strange shape God and the surrounding angels are encompassed by. The artist, Michelangelo, was also an anatomist and encased God in the shape of the corpus callosum to symbolize God's gift of the brain and thought to man.
