You never hear about the other fifteen chapels that “Michael Angelo” painted.

The Fifteen were just practice. Joe Krozel posted a similar eggcorn a while back, as the sixteen chapel.
I’ve hesitated until now to submit the following gruesome variant:
Photos of the cystine chapel?
OP: I would like to see pictures of the ceiling of this chapel, are there any out there ?
R: Sistine, dear… Michelangelo is rolling over in his grave right now.

Welcome to the Eggcorn Forum, rophside!
I recommend doing this whenever considering posting here: Go to the second search field on the Eggcorn Database page, the one marked “Google Searchâ€, and see if your proposed eggcorn (or other treat) has already been discussed. If so, you’ll probably want to add to an existing relevant thread rather than proliferating new threads for the same eggcorn. (It took me awhile to figure this out, so now I mention it to newbies as needed to facilitate their assimilation.)
