Vincent van Gogh had a girlfriend named Sien Hoornik... she must have been annoying as hell... Considering the fact he cut his ear off...

Most art historians now agree Paul Gauguin cut off van Gogh's ear in a duel,or at least a fight, and that Vincent presented the ear to his amour as proof he was defending her honour, which was ironic since she was a local prostitute.

Well, that actually makes more sense, inthe context of the times, than cutting it off himself....that ear cartilage is Tough!

But he did it for her, as a gift.
