Nurse was at one time the 34th most expensive painting ever sold, purchased in November 9, 2015, by an anonymous buyer for $95,365,000,[1] the then-record price for a piece by an American pop art painter. It had previously sold at auction in 1995 for $1.7 million.[2] Christie's, the auction house involved for the sale, called Nurse "a quintessential Lichtenstein heroine" and stated that the subject was taken from a 1960s comic romance novel.[3]

gollark: Anyway, good XML replacements:JSON: for the information interchange format sort of job.CBOR: maybe for application data files, it's basically binary JSON.TOML: configuration files.An actual programming/scripting language e.g. Lua: really complex configuration, game data/modding stuff, maybe markup-type things.
gollark: Well, it's okay, TOML is better.
gollark: Even more worserfuller: CSS.
