    		Could be David. What's incorrect? Isn't circumcised?

    		I think you must be right about the uncircumcised David. I hope nobody tries to correct that now.

    		David is celebrating 500 today. Michaelangelo's lack of common sense in David's case bothers me a bit, but I guess it would be too much for him to find a proper subject to pose for that sculpture.

    It is not something that generally men feel comfortable writing about. But a king of Israel - or for that matter any man in Israel who celebrated Passover - had to be circumsized (according to Exodus, Leviticus and Deuteronomy). That includes David.

    		Michelangelo's David was unveiled to the world 500 years ago today.

    According to a health expert, David had a bad back, a weak hip and hammer toes.

    Why was a sculpture of a hat and rosette erected this year in a very small festival town famous for its boggy pursuits? What other event in the town is the sculpture associated with?

    My brother, marking out stops on a tour for literature and history-minded cyclists, recently sent me an inquiry about a "heavenly" sculpture said to have inspired an important American novel. A little research indicated that he had the wrong sculpture in mind and also that the title of the novel had actually been inspired by a line in a 17th-century poem by someone who was definitely interested in the before-and-afterlife. What novel am I talking about, and what poem might this be?

    This pensive sculpture was bombed and is now left contemplating its missing feet. Luckily, about 20 more copies exist, of which another one was also badly damaged in 2007. Where do you think this bombed sculpture is?
