    		Sesshu Toyo was a Zen Buddhist Priest, however, I believe he was a painter and not necessarily a subject. I also find nothing that states he was not in his right mind.

    What unusual means of transport is depicted by such painters as J.A.D.Ingres, Filippo Napoletano, Stefano della Bella and Eugene Delacroix - but not Arnold Böcklin - in their rendering of a scene from Ariosto's "Roland Enraged" in which an airborne knight rescues an angelic lady from the claws of a sea-monster?

Bearing in mind the fact that none of the 100 competitors withdrew from the race, how was it possible for 'Crazy' Charlie to finish second if he never even made it into the top 90 competitors?
