Thank you.

Thank you.

All right, Billy's gone for his bachelor party.

So that means our group J, K, and L World Cup facts go to Shannon.

I know, Shannon, you've been preparing and you're ready.

Shannon, let's go.

Give us a fact on Argentina.

Argentina once accidentally created one of the world's most famous examples of restoration gone wrong.

An elderly parishioner named Cecilia Jimenez tried to restore a fading fresco of Jesus...

In a church, the restoration transformed the solemn image into something that many people thought looked less like Jesus and more like a fuzzy monkey earning the nickname Monkey Christ.

What makes the story even better is that instead of becoming a disaster, it turned into a tourist attraction where thousands of visitors came to see this, and the church ended up receiving far more attention and revenue than before.

It's one of the rare cases where a botched restoration became more famous than the original artwork.

Wow.

Do we know what city this is in?

The Monkey Christ.

So they tried to restore it.

How does one restore an image?

What do they do?

I guess they go back in and do some alterations to it and try to make it look better than what they did before.

Instead of making it look like Jesus, it looked like a monkey.
