Da Vinci inventions

I happened upon this site while looking for other meaningless stuff for FTE. I never knew this guy was so amazing. My favorite is the chariots.

Check other things out on this site like matchstick creations. The outrageous veggies were kewl as well. Total mind candy.

There is a show on the Discovery Channel called "Doing Da Vinci". They construct the machines that Da Vinci designed.

I was watching LOCK N’ LOAD last night and R. Lee Ermey said Da Vinci invented the tank, on paper anyway

Good sites, but just a few too many https in your links

I opened the 2nd one and it hit on ugly cars.

Had to take exception to 3 of them
- Pacer (all right it was ugly, but I had a lot of fun with mine)
- Edsel -- it pretty much looked like a car from the late 50's. FoMoCo just had a little trouble making them.
- Corvair - again, I really liked mine. I did roll it, but I would have put any other car in the ditch with the same stupid move. And the roll was slow and gentle.

Checked out a couple other pages. I think I'm blind from some of the extreme Barbie dolls
