The Virgin Meryl.
Mother. Of. God. We can all die happy now, because I finally located Meryl Streep in an Italian Renaissance painting. She walks!

Animated History of the NYC Subway

NOBLE SONS OF CUMASCH
You, Alecksandor Gregory Comiskey , are in interesting, if not good, company. Andrew , a crusader for "healing" the homosexuals Brendan , Bishop Emeritus of the Diocese of Ferns, who was forced by John Paul II to resign on false allegations of sexual abuse and was ordered to rehabilitation for alcoholism. Patrick , a well-known wine critic, Rhône Ranger and former sommelier. Charlie , nicknamed " Commy " and also "The Old Roman". We may know him as the namesake of Comiskey Park, but his debut was as pitcher for the good old St. Louis Brown Stockings in their 1882 season. Charlie went on to own the White Sox during the notorious 1919 World Series scandal. Allegedly, his swindling team members were motivated to gamble in part by a shared contempt for their owner's miserliness ; Comiskey even made the players pay to launder their own uniforms. That's awkward. What's also awkward are the names of the people involved...
