Slavisa Pesci, an information technologist and amateur scholar, says superimposing the "Last Supper" with its mirror-image throws up another picture containing a figure who looks like a Templar knight and another holding a small baby.

"I came across it by accident, from some of the details you can infer that we are not talking about chance but about a precise calculation," Pesci told journalists when he unveiled the theory earlier this week.

In the superimposed version, a figure on Christ's left appears to be cradling a baby in its arms, Pesci said, but he made no suggestion this could be Christ's child.

Judas, whose imminent betrayal of Christ is the force breaking the right-hand line of the original fresco, appears in an empty space on the left in the reverse image version.

And Pesci also suggests that the superimposed version shows a goblet before Christ and illustrates when Christ blessed bread and wine at a supper with his disciples for the first Eucharist.

The original Da Vinci depicts Christ when he predicts that one among them will betray him.

Lindsay Lohan delivered yet another lesson in how to turn heads as a Hollywood party girl.

Wearing a skimpy grey bikini top and thigh bearing denim shorts, the actress put on a raunchy show at the Coachella Music Festival in Indio, California.

 

Dancing and posing right throughout the DJ's set, the 20-year-old star made several special requests for Amy Winehouse's hit Rehab.

It's clearly an anthem of sorts for the troubled star, who recently visited to the Wonderland treatment facility in Los Angeles.

Lohan's party pals included Paris Hilton and Kelly Osbourne, who also attended the event.

 

But Lohan's antics might just be a warm-up.

Lohan has promised there will be bigger parties in store, and is already planning a huge bash in Las Vegas for her 21st birthday in July.

The actress said in an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show: "I'm going to milk because it's a big birthday."

cool.

A 13-year-old UK con artist made by passing himself off as a high-flying tycoon.

 

He is said to have been inspired by the film Catch Me If You Can, in which Leonardo DiCaprio played Frank William Abagnale, who made millions posing as a pilot, doctor and lawyer.

 

 

The boy, from west London, traveled in chauffeur driven limousines, dressed in designer suits and had cases of champagne sent to his home. He set up online businesses, hired staff and sold non-existent goods.

But he was caught after three years of swindles and admitted 16 charges of fraud. Another 105 charges were taken into consideration and at Balham youth court this week he was told he faced jail. Now 16, he cannot be named because of his age.

Using bogus firms, he ran up huge bills at companies such as Harrods, and took "business trips" to Paris and Edinburgh.

He took a secretary to inspect private jets, enjoying the attention of sales staff. When they left, he told her: "I loved them sucking up to me."

The spree began shortly after his mother died of cancer. Some of his inheritance was spent on crime books with tales of successful conmen. He will be sentenced at a later date.

Here is one pair of twin brothers that few will have any difficulty telling apart.

 For although Byron and Lincoln Ryman were born within a minute of each other, firstborn Byron - at 3lb 6oz a small baby himself - was precisely three times bigger than his sibling.

Eleven weeks premature, both boys were given a slim chance of survival - particularly Lincoln, weighing only 1lb 2oz at birth.

But yesterday the pair, now just over five weeks old, were doing well, thanks to the dedicated staff at the Royal Hospital for Women in Sydney, Australia.

Lincoln has gained 10oz, while Byron has added 2lb 8oz.

"When the doctors took an ultrasound and saw that Lincoln had stopped growing in the womb, he was given very little chance of survival," relieved mother Nicole Ryman said yesterday.

"But now I have two little boys who are doing well. I'm so happy."

Neo-natalist Dr Parag Mishra said Mrs Ryman was induced to give birth at 29 weeks because it was seen as giving the babies the best chance of survival after complications arose.

"Nicole was 15 weeks along when the medical staff detected twin-to-twin transfusion, a type of problem that occurs sometimes with twin babies when blood flows from one twin to another.

"Lincoln's chances of survival, I considered, were less than 30 per cent because he was so small."

But after their birth, both brothers showed an "exceptional will to live," said Dr Mishra.

"Lincoln initially had a lot of breathing problems and then he had heart problems, so an operation was carried out when he was still about 600g (1lb 5oz).

"But Byron also needed a little bit of help with his breathing before he began to gain proper weight and now he is doing well.

"We're now watching both boys carefully, particularly little Lincoln, but we hope that he'll soon start gaining weight much more quickly and get nearer and nearer his brother."

For Mrs Ryman, 31, and her husband Todd, 32, who conceived through IVF, the first weeks of parenthood have been testing. Mrs Ryman admitted: "It has been a really up and down experience for us but now we're on top of the world because we didn't think we were going to have both of them.

"We've had a few scares along the way but they're going pretty well now and I know I'm going to be able to take them home soon.

"During the pregnancy the doctors wrote Lincoln off. But he's a big boy now - comparatively. They're both fighters."

A teacher in UK has been dramatically cleared of having an affair with a 15-year-old boy despite admitting sending him thousands of emails and texts.

Married Jenine Saville-King, 29, was said to have had sex with the teenager in her car, home, hotel rooms and his mother's house.

Among the most damaging allegations was that she slept with him three days before giving birth to her first child.

 

But a jury acquitted her after hearing the teenager was "manipulative" and had taken advantage of a vulnerable, bulimic woman.

He had lied about the support she gave him, first as his mentor at school and then as his friend.

Mrs Saville-King had denied seven charges of sex with a child and one of abuse of trust.

Despite the verdicts of not guilty, her teaching career was in ruins last night.

She left her job in the wake of the allegations and education experts said it was "extremely unlikely" any school would employ her because a check with the Criminal Records Bureau would show she had admitted an inappropriate relationship.

St Albans Crown Court heard that Mrs Saville-King sent the boy more than 6,000 messages over a six-month period, including 131 in one day.

One said: "I don't think I have ever loved anyone as much as I love you." Another read: "I dream of being far away from here with you and baby and starting again."

Speaking after the case, she called the boy's allegations "boastful fantasies and dishonest, spiteful untruths".

But she admitted: "I made a terrible mistake in allowing myself to become so intensely involved in the emotional and personal problems of this boy.

 

"I allowed a situation to develop which he could distort and misrepresent to such a grotesque degree.

"But we are talking here about a boy with very real problems and behavioral issues. This became very evident during the trial. He needs help and attention, and I hope this will be provided for him."

Her husband Paul, 37, said: "This is the woman I love. I know her better than anyone. I have never doubted her."

The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, said he was "surprised" at the verdict. Now 18, he revealed that he is planning to marry a 37-year-old mother of three with whom he is living.

During the two-week trial, the court heard that Mrs Saville-King joined the Watford school as a teaching assistant in January.

She was swiftly promoted to assistant year leader, then mentor to struggling pupils and later business studies teacher.

It was after she started mentoring the teenager that they began texting each other.

The boy claimed their affair lasted 15 months. He said they first met outside school in mid-2004 and indulged in "hundreds" of sex acts before having full intercourse once he turned 16.

Mrs Saville-King - a blond who switched to brunette before the trial - admitted the relationship was "inappropriate" and that she might have fallen in love with the boy but insisted they never slept together.

She said: "He was nice to me and I liked the attention."

 

Friends have been shocked by her admissions but described her as a vulnerable character swept away by the boy's flattery.

One of three children of a company manager, she was "bubbly and popular" as a pupil at Parmiter's School in Garston.

But school friends said they suspected she was plagued with self doubt and already suffering from bulimia. One said: "I never saw her eat and I don't remember her ever having a boyfriend at school."

By 2001, she was working as a purchasing administrator for an engineering firm where she met her husband, an operations manager.

Three years later she joined the school, where teenage boys became besotted with her.

The court heard she was twice told off for dressing "provocatively" at the school, once in a tight skirt which showed she was wearing a thong.

Mrs Saville-King told the jury she began meeting the teenager, known as a trouble-maker, to help him with
his work, Later meetings came when he threatened to commit suicide or expose their friendship - he once demanded to stay silent.

The boy made his formal allegations in 2005, after he left the school.

He claimed Mrs Saville-King had become jealous of the woman he now plans to marry after they met at a supermarket where he worked. He said the teacher began "loitering" in the store.

Police were called in and DNA tests were taken which established that Mrs Saville-King's husband was the father of her baby - their second child was born last month.

But the allegations led to the teacher, who now lives in Hook, Hampshire, being arrested in February 2006.

Last night the boy revealed that he and his new partner had become engaged before Christmas.

He added: "We're very happy. It's been a tough time and I just want to forget all about the whole thing."

His fiancee said: "We don't think about the age gap. When I put my make-up on you don't really notice it."

THE EROTIC FILM REVIEWER

watch porn while I iron Rose, 34, from Brighton, reviews porn films.

For my job as a copywriter, I was used to writing about fashion and make-up for companies to use in their advertising material.

I enjoyed explaining about the latest trends and colours of lipstick, but then I was approached by Ann Summers to write reviews of erotic DVDs for its catalogues and website.

I always used to think porn was something sad old men used to get their kicks.

I only ever seen bits of old-fashioned movies, which were all lipgloss, 1970s furniture and terrible acting. I didn see how anyone could find that sexy.

It was more comical than anything. I wanted to see if there was anything else out there that could work for women.

When my first delivery of DVDs arrived, I was on my own. I drew the curtains in my living room and pressed play. The film had a storyline, was modern, realistic and very sexy.

My husband, Andy, 35, thought my new career was fantastic, and he offer to help me films over a bottle of wine.

We always had a good sex life, but my new job gave it some extra zest. 

While watching the films, I have to make notes. Is it a turn-on? Can it work for first-time porn watchers? Is it believable? Is there a storyline? Is it instructional? Are the men in it fit?

I reviewed more than 100 porn films now, but the thrill has worn off a bit.

What I first found sexy and titillating, is now just part of my everyday life. These days, I usually stick them on and watch them while I doing the ironing.

And I do get porn fatigue. Sometimes, I just want to sit with a cuppa and watch Corrie, not romping naked bodies.

My friends think my job is a laugh and say it hilarious I get paid for doing it. I found my niche and Andy certainly doesn mind me bringing my work home.

THE SEXY TOY TESTER

hand out orgasm ratings Sayers, 31, from Leicester, writes reviews of sex toys for websites with her fianc Mick.

My fianc Mick Brady, had been surfing the Internet when he came across an advert.

It was looking for women to write reviews of sex toys in return for free products. 

should apply, I thought. I never written a review before, but I had tried a few sex toys. 

So I logged on to the site to register my details and a few days later, I was accepted. The first toy to arrive was a vibrator Rocking Rabbit.

Mick, 29, and I played around with it together in bed and I kept a mental note of every sensation.

We both agreed sex was much better with it. The next day, I used the toy on my own, then I gave it an orgasm rating of 10 out of 10 and posted the review on the website. Lots of women said it was really helpful.

I was sent more toys to review, including the Ba Da Bing Ring a vibrating penis ring for Mick and an Inch Perfect vibrator.

Mick hadn tried many sex toys before, but he really liked me introducing them to the bedroom.

It gives me something to look forward to when I get home from my job as a fashion designer.

My reviews are now used to help customers on other sites and women contact me to ask extra questions.

I love being a real-life sexpert and whenever one of the plain packages drops through the letter box, we head straight to the bedroom.
