We're not worthy...
Today, we went to see an exposition called Machines In Motion, dedicated to Da Vinci's machines.
How much this man accomplished, the phenomenal quantity of absolutely brilliant inventions he came up with in his 67 years on this earth is simply breathtaking - and that's just one fragment of the many, many things he accomplished in his life.
I'm still somewhat in a shock, processing what I've seen. Makes one realize how insignificant we can be... Maybe if he had had access to Facebook and Twitter, he wouldn't have had as much time to spend just being the genius he was.
I'll probably never use the word "genius" to refer to anyone else again...

Da Vinci was always one of my favorite inventors.......Tesla was also incredible. Some people seem to be able to know certain things that given their backgrounds and surroundings it is knowledge they had no access to yet they knew..... Da Vinci more so than Tesla since tesla had some engineering training , but like so many geniuses, his teachers told him his ideas were silly, he went out on his own and proved them all wrong.
Lots of talk about the so called "star children" who like Da Vinci know a lot but no one really knows how they can know it.Some of the attempted explanations are bizarre.

and yes, I agree, Tim, Tesla was also.

Sadly, history doesn't remember Da Vinci's cousin, Lenny "Duh" Vinci. Dwelling within the shadow of his famous cousin, Lenny attempted to create his own inventions. Unfortunately, the world was not receptive to his Self Catapult device. Frustrated by his failures, he finally attempted to rip off his cousin and build his own flying machine. Sadly, he used granite for the wings. His final statement was, "AAAGGHHHH!"

I knew a guy who claimed to have invented an anti-gravity chair. A few of us were invited to watch his first test but, soon after sitting in the chair, the whole thing flew into space and he's never been heard from since...

I often go speechless reading (for example) about some scholars/scientists who accompanied the great explorers.
They spent years in candle lit 4 feet x 4 feet humid cabins writing thousands and thousands of pages of scientific texts with quillpens and died at the age of 45 leaving behind more material than an average doctor today dying at the age of 95.
SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre - Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc. The benefit of being a middle aged amateur is the low number of years of frustration ahead of you.

The sad thing is that Da Vinci's work was lost for a few hundred years I believe and by the time it was rediscovered much of his work had been replicated by others.

Whaddabout Michael Angelo? There was something about him being a sissy teen in chapel... I forget.
Rove is a genius... he is wrong about some things but he is a polling genius. I think he thinks that big government is somehow a good thing. Me? I am a genus all to my self. Bubba too!

 well played sir Da Vinci is beyond great in my book  a lot of people don't realize how deep and ahead of the times he was saying his military inventions were pretty profound would be an understatement …tanks , turrets , subs, ….. if I'm not mistaken I think he even invented the bicycle chain  ...

So the question is... do the overly intelligent ones know who they are if "no one knows"?! Hmmm. This could be thee conundrum of conundrums.

I'll definitely keep that in mind. I think it's not so much a matter of if as it is a matter of when. My wife has been there on tour a few times and insists that we must go together.
