The Possibilities....

The Understandably Not-So-Lovable Fuhrer, I was taught in my art history class, originally intended to be an artist. He applied to The Academy Of Fine Art in Vienna(presuming The Blog Keeper's Mighty Memory doth not fail His Greatness), and was rejected multiple times.

Now some watercolors reputed to be his work were sold at an auction for 97,000 pounds (~$140,000). Which goes to show that the biggest sellers do not sell for their skill as much as for the intrigue surrounding their work.

Curious, to think what may have happened had he been accepted and lived out a career as an artist.

So enjoy, Dear Reader, our fascinating and Cool Thingamujig Of The Day.
