Do you suppose Da Vinci was a time traveller from a later century? Sure seems that way sometimes.

If he was, he wasn't from this Earth. His painting style is not very modern, much less futuristic. He was a man of his time, though one of extraordinary talent, interests, and energy.

I wonder what he could have accomplished with the resources we have today. He was so far ahead of his time and accomplished so much - I wonder how he managed to find time for everything. We owe him a lot.

He didn't have TV and the internet to distract him. That was one benefit of living in his time.
