Joseph (John) Merrick lived in England from 1862-1890. Merrick was born with a congenital disease which created abnormal and excessive bone growth on his skull and some of his limbs. Because he was not able to obtain work elsewhere, Merrick ended up in a circus sideshow where he earned a living being a living curiosity and was given the name "The Elephant Man".

Most people know the rest of the story from the 1980 movie, "The Elephant Man"

Did Michael Jackson Buy the Elephant Man's Bones?

In 1987, news reports all over the world announced that singer Michael Jackson had submitted an offer to purchase the remains of Joseph (John) Merrick, also known as the Elephant Man. At the time, this news was just one more bizarre fact in the life that was Michael Jackson's. Jackson was reportedly sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber to extend his life, invented and patented anti-gravity boots and traveled around with a chimpanzee. Buying the famous Elephant Man's bones did not seem to be out of the realm of possibility.

According to London Hospital spokespeople, Michael Jackson became fascinated with the story of the Elephant Man when the Broadway play based on Merrick's life debuted in 1979, followed by the movie "The Elephant Man" in 1980. Jackson reportedly showed up at the hospital in 1982 and again in 1985 to view the remains.

Merrick's bones were kept in the hospital's Pathology Museum for viewing only by professionals and students

The Virgin and Child with St Anne and St John the Baptist

I think this is my favorite piece of art. It is know as Da Vinci's Cartoon and hangs in the National Gallery in London.

In 1987 someone came into the gallery and shot the painting with a shot gun! Luckily the museum was able to repair it to almost exactly how it looked before the attack....

In the future the clothes will be more simply and more function.

I think about Hi-Technology clothes like the clothes in Ultraviolet movie. The main actress wear the simply cloth but she can change the color and the style anytime. Because the main reason of cloth is protection your body.


If I could go back in time, I prefer the time that Thai people ware tank top and loincloth because it’s proper with Thailand weather and we are not follow the other country style.

Have you ever known David Blaine?

I have never known him before. I have watched one guy in TY show about endurance in the water but I’m not sure is that he or not. I did some research about him. He is a famous illusionist and endurance artist. The best of him is about his high-profile feats of endurance and a performer of street and close-up magic. I really like his street magic. It’s very fantastic. How dose he do? And why I never know when he did a trick. Sometime I found after I backward the clip but many time I still don’t know what dose he do. His famous make some guys made the joke clips. I can not stop laughing when I saw them. I found them when I did the research (unexpectedly) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYxu_MQSTTY ^0^

The best painter is Vincent van Gogh.

There are many great painters in the world. I think the best painter is Vincent van Gogh. His painting saw about the normal or abnormal and reality or unreal.

This painting is in the period of Nederland. The painting is simple but we can see the people feel so hard about their life.

That painting is period of Paris. His painting is more simple but the color is more bright.

His painting has powerful color and harsh touch like his life.
