Time:Born 1452 — Died 1519. Place:Florence, Italy. Also known as:Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci ("Leonardo, son of Mr. Peter of Vinci"), "Renaissance Man." 
Harassed by Renaissance bullies saying:"Hey, Leo! Why don't you invent yourself a personality!" Got even with Renaissance bullies by:Sending them up in his helicopter prototype, then "forgetting" to bring them down for two days.
Favorite invention:Peanut butter, jelly, and potato chips on Italian bread. Da Vinci? Da Licious!
Was good at:Uh... everything. That's why he's a "Renaissance Man." One weakness:Despite inventing a "Footwear Chooser Thingy" (working title), da Vinci's socks were always mismatched.
Likely to say:"Sure I'll invent weapons for you. But then I'll hide my plans so that no one ever builds them. War is not the answer." Unlikely to say:"Sorry, I can't do that."
Little-known fact:Whenever he got an idea, a little candle appeared over his head (because the light bulb was not yet invented, you see...) Reason little-known fact is little known:It's not true.
Favorite ice cream:Chocolate Chip Cookie Leonar-dough. |
