    after this long, i'm assuming that DaVinci's patent on his bridge has expired. maybe it would be a boost for the tech industry if they all baked bread, waiting for patents to expire before they make the real dough.

    I did find the bridge quite interesting. It's amazing what a genius da Vinci was, he was way
    beyond his time.


    But to tell the truth I don't really care.
