DU Christians: Why is everybody sitting on the same side of the...
...Last Supper table? It must have made conversation awkward. And the passing of the dinner rolls and the gravy.

1. They were just posing for Leonardo at that point.
Just a quick snapshot.


Ask Eddie Izzard.

2. Perhaps all the women just left,
bored with the endless boasting, beer and baseball statistics.

4. If that's a female...
...so is John the Baptist in most of Leonardo's paintings. (BTW, one of Leonardo's notebooks shows an early sketch of that painting with the names of all the characters noted by their drawings. The figure in question is definitely labelled as John the Evangelist.)

5. It makes more since than how it really was.
Historians think that at the real last supper it was just a bunch of dudes laying all over the floor on their sides.

If they painted that is would make Jesus and the Apostles look like lazy slobs.
