I've always been a Van Gogh fan, but I've also always thought of him as a bit of a lunatic. Not only did he commit suicide, he was reportedly manic, alternating between intense creative episodes and spells of deep depression. The cherry on top, however, was the story of him cutting off his own ear in a fit of madness. Now it turns out his good friend cut it off and he fell on the grenade. Gauguin was a real prick.Update: Link has been fixed. Thanks for the pointer, CBob.

Dude, what is that hyperlink? a test?! Wull, I passed- cuz that one leads to "The Island Where People Live Longer" on NPR- which, while a compelling and interesting story that makes me want to move, is NOT about Van Gough's ear and how Gaugin is a prick.
