In perhaps one of the coolest historical footnotes, yet: the rumor that Van Gogh cut off his own ear has recently been disproved. Van Gogh in fact did NOT cut off his own ear, but DID give his ear to a prostitute.

TALES FROM THE LARK SIDE: DOES NEW YORK MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LOVE & OTHER QUESTIONS

I thought I did. Find love that is. Twice.
Twice, I failed, or had something similar to failure that manifested itself into something undefinable, much more painful, increasingly tear-filled and even involved a call to the cops and me sleeping on the floor of a very, very, dirty apartment building on the corner of Fulton and Gold [...]

“OCTOMOM” GRANDMA CALLS DAUGTHER’S ACTIONS “UNCONSCIONABLE”

I think an investigation by the California Medical Board into a possible “violation of care” by Suleman’s doctors is entirely justified in this case.
