GATTACA? A DNA sequence? Could be, says I. Wacky screenplay writers, mayhap.  
Yet. Picasso mural, 25-foot. Relevant, yes? Reference, mayhap?

Possible, yes? Interest in Picasso, lacking. Enlighten, mayhap?

Firstly:

[Does the title of the movie _Gattaca_\> refer to a DNA sequence?](http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mgattaca.html)

Second: It’s [Guernica](http://www.newyouth.com/archives/imagegallery/spain/guernica.html), not Gattaca.

So, no.

Oh.

Ignorance and embarrassment, yes? Slink away, mayhap.
