Trivia Question. Who got that ear?

Student wrote on 10/2/2005 3:01:39 PM :

Artist Vincent Van Gogh was a very troubled and sad man. Surely everyone has heard the story of Van Gogh cutting off his own ear in a fit of despair- Wall but do you know who the recipient of this macabre gift was?

I think he gave it to a girl of ill repute and ended up with mono.

Let's be honest.  Van Gogh and Paul Gauguin had a very "special relationship".  That ear was meant for Gauguin.....guaranteed.

He might have heard Shakespere say "Lend me your ears." and lent him one. I'm quite sure the girl of ill repute got it.

Ok, here is what happened:

Supposedly Van Gogh wanted to kill his rommate, but couldnt find him, so he decided to cut his own ear instead, and give it to a prostitute as a gift...

Poor dude!
