Would you rather....

a)

You go back in time and spend fifteen straight years watching Leo DaVinci paint the Mona Lisa after which, if you didn't miss a day, Leo gives you the painting. You now own it legally, but your time machine ran out of battery and you are now stuck in 1506 with what you know will become the "most expensive square inches" in history.

b)

Or... You stay in the present and figure out a foolproof way to break into the museum that houses the Mona Lisa. You steal it, and return it to Italy as a gift to the Italian people, the rightful owners. In thanks, you get a large plate of spaghetti and a plane ticket home. Nothing more.
