I have learned from FreeRice.com that (1) there was a painter named Paolo Uccello and (2) uccello is Italian for "bird." Today it occurred to me that "Paul" and its cognates come from a word for "small." From there I remembered Little Bird from "Sesame Street."

I must be the first person ever to connect a Renaissance artist with a largely forgotten Muppet. No, the Ninja Turtles don't count in my book.
