TIL that in 1972 a 33-year-old Hungarian geologist attacked Michelangelo’s Pietà statue in St. Peter’s Basilica wielding a geologist’s hammer and shouting, “I am Jesus Christ—risen from the dead”. Prior to this, he had moved to Rome intending to be recognised as Christ by the Pope.

    Without knowing anything else about this guy, I’m going to diagnose him with bipolar mania.
