Was Leonardo di Vinci a cross dresser?

The enigmatic smile, as well her identity, has baffled art historians for centuries. 

Now, it appears, a group of Italian scientists are seeking permission to exhume di Vinci's remains to conduct carbon and DNA testing. You see, theories have swirled about that the Mona Lisa was actually a self portrait. These scientists claim, if they have the opportunity to poke and prod his remains, they can dispel or prove this conundrum.

Goodness me.

Will the version of the song, made famous by Nat King Cole, have to be re-recorded? Monsieur Lisa, Monsieur Lisa, doesn't have quite the same roll off your tongue rhythm, does it?

Was Salvador Dali's rendition not his self portrait, simply his being prophetic? 

Will Dan Brown have continued fame and fortune by unraveling this mystery in another epic? Will Tom Hanks keep his hair long for the next installment? Did you, as I did, feel embarrassed for Tom's wife, Rita Wilson, in her giggling, over the top, performance in "It's Complicated"?

It will probably take another century before the French consider giving permission to the Italians to undertake this project.  

Just as well. Leonardo rest in peace.
