Stella posted new weekly challenge:

The first hint is "keys". We need an encryption sheme that utilizes keys: VIgnere.

Using the 5 solutions as keys and the above lines as input, you get:

thereoncewasarenaissanceman

whocookedupaquestionableplan

hisfirstlovelysculpture

buriedromanculture

andthatshowhiscareerbegan

The referenced hoax is easy to find (in fact, most of us probably tried "michelangelo" after reading "renaissance" and "sculpture"):

michelangeloscupid

Nice riddle.
