Happy Birthday Leo!

I just want to offer a posthumous Happy Birthday wish to Leonardo DaVinci. Had he survived, he would be 553 years old today. Still, in my opinion he still remains the most prolific inventor to date. He invented the armored tank, the helicopter, the parachute, and diving technology hundreds of years before they were actually used by others. In fact, there are still a number of his inventions that are a mystery.

On top of this, one of the first to explore human anatomy, and he was a master painter. The Mona Lisa is probably the most famous painting in the world, and nearly everyone has seen a re-creation of his rendition of The Last Supper.

Other examples of his inventions and accomplishments can be found here.
