Says you!
Makes me think of when my son was 8 years old. I’ll think of the turtles and smile.

I should have called him da Vinci.
Nope, Leonardo is correct, despite the inevitable conjured image of a Ninja turtle. "Da Vinci" is simply where he was from.

Black is part of the OSU color scheme as background to the scarlet and grey and it’s a popular color for OSU jackets and sweatshirts. Woody’s iconic ball cap was solid black and the striping on the helmets, jersey cuffs, and pants striping includes black and white too. I know we’re despised by 99% of everybody else, but we do like our Buckeye colors and feel they are distinctive.

There are lots of renditions of Vitruvian Man, both before and after Leonardo. The proportions, originally outlined by Vitruvius, are not philosophical statements, but mere observations that come very naturally to any classical architect. It’s been a while since I’ve read V., but I recall him to be a very practically-minded fellow.

Re:
Leonardo da Vinci's drawing of a male figure perfectly inscribed in a circle and square, known as the "Vitruvian Man," illustrates what he believed to be a divine connection between the human form and the universe Gadzooks! No big deal at all-- Here's how I square my... circular, shiny metal a$$!
By the way--

Anyhoot, it should be clear that Leonardo's rendition is clearly the superior work. So what's the problem?
Indeed. Thank you for sharing your insights, dearest sister in Christ!

I thought Lincoln doodled that on the back of an envelope during a train ride.
