Leonardo da Vinci

No, I am not talking about the teenage mutant turtle. Not that they aren't totally awesome... but today I am talking about the famous Renaissance painter, who did works like The Mona Lisa andThe Last Supper. I'm talking about the famous painter, who although paints normal, writes, like this:


This is a piece of a page from one of his journals, of which they are probably hundreds, that today sell for between 28 and 30 million dollars. Each. Da Vinci was left-handed, which I guess is what made him write like this. He actually wrote backwards. You would have to look in a mirror to read it. How cool is that? We right-handers right left to right, but he wrote right to left, with every word backwards. Believe it or not, I learned this in school. Ha, Leonardo da Vinci's handwriting- something to think about.
