Leonardo

Anyone have any clue why Leonardo da Vinci was featured on Google today? It's not his birthday... so...?

  1. Born 15 Apr 1452; died 2 May 1519.
    Italian painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer. Da Vinci was a great engineer and inventor who designed buildings, bridges, canals, forts and war machines. He kept huge notebooks sketching his ideas. Among these, he was fascinated by birds and flying and his sketches include such fantastic designs as flying machines. These drawings demonstrate a genius for mechanical invention and insight into scientific inquiry, truly centuries ahead of their time. His greater fame lies in being one of the greatest painters of all times, best known for such paintings as the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper...........

    perhaps today is/ was his birthday a long long amount of years ago....
