Sometimes I just can't leave well enough alone...

"Booth, you were right. This trip to Italy was the most romantic thing you've ever done. And I love that we got to see Michelangelo's statue of David – it's amazing how he got the human anatomy so perfect in marble, on that scale."
"Yeah, but why couldn't he be wearing pants?"
Bones nodded. "That would hide the most offensive part."
Booth was surprised. "You agree that he shouldn't have his junk hanging out?"
"Absolutely! It's atrocious!"
Booth grinned. "Amazing! We agree on something!"
"Yes, it's absolutely abominable that Michelangelo would depict David with an uncircumcised penis."
Booth stared at her. "Huh?"
Bones couldn't be interrupted. "David was not only a Jew, but one of God's favorites and, at this point, a future king of Israel. Circumcision is part of the very definition of a Jewish man, and it is inconceivable that he would be uncircumcised. And it's no accident. Michelangelo was too good a sculptor, student of anatomy, and scholar of the Bible to have made such a detailed foreskin inadvertently."
Booth shook his head. "Only you, Bones."
Bones smiled proudly. "On the other hand, I can't wait to get to the Sistine Chapel. In the Creation of Adam, Michelangelo apparently sneaked in a perfect cross-section of a human brain."
Author's note: both of these facts are absolutely true. Look for yourself.
