Nutmeg is a hallucinogenic. Yeah, it's in the appendix to Burroughs' Naked Lunch. I tried it once with a mate, we were both around 17. Loads of ground nutmeg (ground fresh from the nut), add boiling water, stir, drink. We ended up with the worst headaches ever experienced by anyone ever in the world ever.

Bit late in the day J! I discovered that Frida Kahlo had an affair with Leon Trotsky.

I found out that two of my fellow inmates had until today HUGE AND INEXPLICABLE gaps in their art history knowledge.

Why? I'm genuinely intrigued. because they were AGAINST Raphaelites, not BEFORE them I was always taught that they were in favour of returning to what they saw as the values of painting before the modernising innovations of Raphael, and his Mannerist followers. They wanted to get back to the jewel-like colourfulness (no great washes of shadow\shade), meticulous attention to detail, and trueness to nature that they associated with Giotto, Botticelli, Fra Angelico etc. 'Raphaelites' weren't a group, or a tendency, he was just used as a convenient shorthand for post Quattrocento painting.
