Michelangelo's "Horny" Moses at San Maria Maggiore in Roma. Due to a translation error in the Bible, Michelangelo made two horns on the head of Moses. They look more like kitty ears than horns to me. Silly aren't they? Also, did you notice how buff Moses is? Definitely been working out. And that beard could serve double duty as a home for birds and other little critters. Kinda looks like Moses braided the dad burn thang too. Well, I guess long braided beards were all the rage in Biblical times (no pizza or ice cream to worry about!).
