Stuff That's Not David

There is an apocryphal story that one day the Pope came to visit Michelangelo in his studio while he was sculpting his "David". The Pope marveled at the partially completed work, and asked, "How do you know what to cut away?"

Michelangelo's response was, "It's simple. I just remove everything that doesn't look like David."
