        Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, to give his full name.

        Someone who not only founds a couple of sciences, studies a few more, whilst doing all kinds of awesome things is surely worth a visit? If he were merely a painter, an inventor or any one of the things which he did, he would be a genius. How he managed to cram all of what he did into one lifetime I will never know.

        I would probably encourage him to try and publish some more of his thoughts and ideas in his lifetime for the world to benefit from. Might try and pick up some tips to improve my truly horrendous artwork skills too.
