    Default If Leonardo da Vinci

    Was transported through time to present day, what do you think his reactions would be?

    I think he would be positively amazed over helicopters, seeing as he tried to develop one in his own age.

    I would love to know what he thinks of modern art. That'd be very interesting.

    He'd have the expression of an Amish person walking into a Circuit City.

    Maybe, but I think he would like it better than the Amish, seeing as he was quite the inventor himself.

    He was an incredibly curious man, and I think he'd be fascinated (and terrified, of course) at everything mankind has accomplished.

    Then he'd read the Da Vinci Code, and bad things start happening.

    The first time he saw a parachute - on TV, on the news, whatever - he'd point and scream, start clapping excitedly and jumping up and down, then break out the champagne and have a PARACHUTE PARTAY.

    He'd love to see all the developments and absorb every bit of modern science available. Then he'd start making up more theories hundreds of years ahead of OUR time. Oh, and if I was him I'd hunt down all my art and demand money for EVERYTHING. Nyahaha. I dunno if he would though.

    "Is this supposed to be pretensious? It's a blotch of paint that costs $4000!"

    Among many other things Leonardo would probably be in awe about how famous the Mona Lisa is today.

    I once told everyone I was Leonardo da Vinci and I had travelled through time to the present. Unless I received special treatment reserved only for false da Vincis, let's just say he'll be marvelling at the wonders of a brain mashing course of drugs and biweekly therapy sections within a fortnight.

    I think he would get into all kinds of wacky mischief and then have a reality TV show made about him!

    His reaction would probably "Wtf. Not again."

    He would just walk around muttering 'I told you so.' Then he would hang around us all day and tell us how to do our jobs.

    I expect he would be fascinated and hungry for information and knowledge.

    But I think Psy's most likely to be correct xD

    I think he would react immediately to the fact that sporting a long white beards and mountains of hair has gone out of fashion

    I think while we're at it, we should bring back Michelangelo, Raphael and Donatello and make them fight crime.
