Dogs Playing Poker
Many decades ago, when I first saw a painting of dogs playing poker (NOT the original of Coolidge of course), I was so mesmerized that I must have stared at it for more than an hour. That was then, when I was still in the late teens, but now? Whatever the painting may be, whoever painted it, however nice the depiction might be, I do not throw it a second glance. I consider it as something like a- (I almost said cockroach)- hmm...like a tiny butterfly. It may be nice to see at, but if you've seen one, you've seen them all. (That is my humble opinion, but let's get on).
That painting which is so famous is actually entitled LOOKS LIKE FOUR OF A KIND, done in 1910 by Cassius Coolidge (a sign painter). This person founded a bank actually, then he found that depicting dogs in human scenarios was a worthwhile pursuit.

This dogs playing poker painting remains to be one of the most replicated paintings, and that's for all time, think of neckties, cups and even mouse pads, they are there. Even Net casinos (some) have been utilizing this iconic picture, not realzing that some people have gotten sick and tired of looking at dogs playing poker. (Hmm...dogs playing chess might be a new thing, maybe I can hire a painting pro).
Fact is, it is my guess that Bill Gates must be saying, 'if I've been born before Coolidge, I could have done it first'- or at least had it patented first.
