The impatient Pope is supposed finally to have threatened to have him thrown down from the scaffolding if he did not hurry and complete the ceiling. That decided Michelangelo, who then had the wooden structures taken down and left the frescoes as they were without the final touches of gold intended for them. Michelangelo stopped the work on October 12, 1512, and the frescoes were uncovered on New Year’s Day 1513. All Rome was amazed at the stupendous performance. About 10,000 square feet of surface had been covered with some 343 figures. If you found the life of Michelangelo stimulating as depicted in the motion picture “The Agony and the Ecstasy,” then I would suggest that you try to read Irving Stone’s “The Agony and the Ecstasy,” which is not a scholarly study of Michelangelo but a popular retelling in fictional form of the life of Michel angelo. If after reading Michelangelo’s story as depicted by Stone and you wish to read further in Michelangelo, I would be happy to supply you with a list of titles.

It isn’t true. “Flameless” stems from the precarious position in which our competitors find themselves. Their’s is a type of heating energy that is inferior to natural gas for many purposes, includ ing that of heating water. Purely in defense, they use the gim mick, flameless. But this fact remains: The intense blue flame of natural gas heats water faster, keeps it hot longer, and restores the supply more quickly than any other form of energy. You can’t beat that. Don’t YOU be fooled. Get a natural gas water heater and you’ll be ahead. You’ll be ahead in hot water (because you’ll never run out), you’ll be ahead in first cost (because a smaller gas water heater does the work of a larger flameless one), and you’ll be ahead in your pocketbook (because the FLAME is fast and economical).
