Was She Giving the Evil Eye?

Aug. 11) -- A Russian woman is in trouble with French authorities after hurling a cup at the Mona Lisa painting at the Louvre in Paris.
The Daily Mail reported Tuesday the woman is being held in the custody of Paris police and had undergone psychological testing after the Aug. 2 incident at the world-famous museum.
Russian news site Pravda reported the woman was upset over being denied French citizenship, but the Daily Mail reported the woman is being assessed by doctors to determine whether she suffers from Stendhal Syndrome, a rare condition that causes erratic behavior when a person is exposed to artwork.
Accounts of the incident differ, with the Daily Mail reporting the woman threw a tea cup full of English breakfast tea at the painting, while Pravda reported the cup was empty.
Regardless, the projectile did no damage. Leonardo DaVinci's famous, which is property of the French government, is protected by bullet-proof glass and is further protected by a climate-controlled box.
"It is one of the most well guarded works of art in the world, and it would take more than a well-aimed tea-cup to damage it," a museum spokesman told the Daily Mail.
