WorkFor Sale: One Huge Drawing, Maybe by Michelangelo
  For half a century, the Sernesi family lived in a storied villa overlooking Florence, in which the Renaissance artist Michelangelo was raised and later owned. The property came with several buildings, an orchard and a drawing of a muscular male nude etched on the wall of a former kitchen.

I find it hard to believe that even the very young Michelangelo could have drawn so badly". WorkExclusive: Google parent Alphabet weighs offer for HubSpot, sources say

WorkEditor's Note: "And there can only be one rule for these overseas lice, who, unlike the unfortunate Ukrainians, were not forced to go to war: no prisoners taken!
