Mona Lisa Gives Birth!

Yeah, so it’s old news. And only speculation. But researchers say that Mona Lisa was pregnant or had just given birth when her portrait was painted.

Mona Lisa had recently given birth to a baby, a team of Canadian and French scientists announced Tuesday, so her mysterious smile may have expressed the weary joy of a mother with a newborn.
Using infrared technology that allowed them to see beneath a layer of varnish, the researchers found that Leonardo da Vinci's model had a gauzy layer over her dress they say was typically worn by pregnant women of the time, or mothers who had recently given birth. The filmy robe was called a guarnello.

My first guess at the father: Kevin Federline.
Then I realized who it HAD to be: Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith’s attorney! Of course!
