What about surrender monkey?

head master of all things magicy

I think Surrender Monkey would suit you better.

*hits T.B. upside the head with staff for saying that*

I think surrender monkey has already been taken, by people who wear berets, eat snails, and hoard the Mona Lisa.

but USians don't eat snails and I think all the Mona Lisas are in Europe

Yes. The Mona Lisas are in a country where people eat snails and frog legs.

I believe at least one of them is in England, Not sure ware Raphael's ones are.

When I was in the Louvre Museum, I saw the Mona Lisa. What country is the Louvre in?

France, of course.

There are, I belive, at least three Mona Lisas who's origins are unknown, that is the original artist is not known, these date from the time the 'original' was painted and, according to some art historians, may be earlier or later versions painted by Leonardo. There are also sketches by a, then, young Raphael, which appear, to some extent, to fit justify the belief that Leonardo may have done more than one version.

There are more than three others, many artiests copied the painting. That way the historians also found out that there are parts cut off the original painting, I think. There was a collumn on every side, which showed more clearly that Mona Lisa is sitting on a balcony.

Plus, the fact that Leonardo, like many artists at the time occasionaly had students finish off some parts of some paintings doesn't help work out what's genuine and what's not. Also it appears that I was incorrect, the version, which is believed to possably be the first, unfinished, version, which was in the UK, is in Switzerland.

Mona Lisa, Mona Lisa, men have called you.....

Maybe the hamsters could be of help, too.
