THERE IS A THEORY THAT VINCENT VAN GOGH WAS A TAMILIAN. WHICH FAMOUS EPISODE IS CITED AS PROOF FOR THIS THEORY?
One night, it seems, the moody Van Gogh had a session with a telugu whore. He was so happy that he wanted to do it again and again. The lady was extremely tired. So she declined his offer by saying ‘kaadhu’ in her language, which means NO. Van Gogh being a tamilian, thought she was asking for his ‘kaadhu’, so he chopped his ear and gave it to her. The rest is history.
