But seriously Leo, not a day over 530...
Born April 15th, 1452 in theregion of Florence, Italy, Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci, or Leo as his close friends called him, grew from the illegitimate son of a notary and a peasant into a legitimate baller. Apart from his famous paintings, he was the epitome of the Renaissance Man: inventor, engineer, sculptor, military architect, code-breaker, buggerer of boys, philosopher, master of topographical anatomy and internationally recognized genius. I could make a list of his radical inventions and plans, notes and journals that are still used today, but that's why we have wikipedia.
And by the way, happy Pesach er'rybody.
It is great work.
