A woman tossed a cup of hot tea on Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa in Paris. According to the article she may suffer from a mental disorder caused by viewing fine art. Apparently, going to museums could be dangerous for your mental wellness! I wonder what the creators of the DSM-V think about a diagnosis of "fine art exposure" as a reason for irrational behavior and possible need for an all-purpose drug such as Seroquel XR. LOL
from the article:
"The Mona Lisa, which portrays an enigmatic 16th Century Italian woman, was visited by 8.5 million people last year.
Its fame is often attributed to its troubled history, with theft and vandalism often carried out by people with a mental disorder known as Stendhal syndrome – confusion and irrational behaviour caused by being exposed to fine art."

Leonardo Da Vinci’s priceless masterpiece, which is known at La Joconde in France, is surrounded by bullet-proof glass which is also designed to resist heat, humidity and vibrations.
The glass is heat, humidity, and vibration resistant. The glass is bullet proof, but it's not tea proof?
What's wrong with this picture?
I read/heard, "Russian woman, frustrated, failed to obtain French nationality." Angry or wanted to stay in France. I think she got her wish and 15 minutes of fame.
