Have You Seen the Sistine -- In Your SWEATS?

Hey, everybody!

As I mentioned recently, the Vatican is making a new online portal, which they hope to have up and running by Easter:

But it never occurred to me that they might have new portions of the website that we could check out before Easter. Until today, when my kind Morman friend who knows that I am a lover of all things Catholic, sent me a great link. Brace yourselves...the website that formerly featured a whole lot of text now also displays a high resolution panorama of the Sistine Chapel! You can zoom in and out, and view the chapel from every possible angle (floor to ceiling) with the help of your mouse or touchpad. It's pretty awesome. Behold:

The Vatican website already has some other cool stuff going on, so why not stop by and take a look around the place? No dress code, and no plane ticket required! www.vatican.va

Peace and all good,
Leslie
