    Default My name is Mona Lisa and I can Speak!

    http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science...eut/index.html

    TOKYO, Japan (Reuters) -- The Mona Lisa's smile may always remain a mystery, but it is now possible to hear what her voice would have sounded like, thanks to a Japanese acoustics expert.
    I, for one, think that is amazing that they can be within 10% of the actual voice Mona Lisa actually spoke.

    I don't see the point of this. Why not use it to find out other people's voices? Why Mona Lisa?

    They most likely are, but this is just one area where it is being used.

    Publicity! Doing it with such a masterpiece will get much more interest than one of joe scmoe.

    Um all that hype and no link to hear an audio of her voice?
    Or did I overlook it

    It would have been funny if they figured out she was in fact a ladyboy.

    How can they make the voice of Mona Lisa?
    Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

    Been to:

    Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.

    A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

    Your voice corresponds to your body, I'm assuming.
