$300m 'Michelangelo painting' found behind sofa

A dusty old painting stored behind a family sofa could be a Michelangelo worth up to $300 million (£190 million) and potentially one of the art finds of the century, according to an expert.

Wow! $300 million? My jaw would have dropped to the floor and then some.

I just looked, and no, there is no painting behind our couch.

Ew. Who doesn't clean behind their couch at least once in a while?

The title of this thread could be a Monty Python skit . . . which I would certainly tune in and watch.

All I ever find behind the sofa is an occasional cat, and some dust bunnies
