>From Why thing work: "To understand this phenomenon, you need to know about
phototaxis. Phototaxis is an organism's automatic movement toward or away from light.
Cockroaches are an example of a negatively phototactic organism. You've probably
noticed how they scurry back into dark corners and crevices when you illuminate their
late-night snacking party in your kitchen. Moths are positively phototactic. They
seem charmed by your porch light, your headlights or your campfire (even if it leads
to their untimely demise). While there is no definitive explanation for this
phenomenon, there are some interesting theories."

No tell me, what does phototaxis, a bilogical pattern, have to do with human
attraction to Michelangelo's "David?"

I gather you are not a Blair fan?
