We discussed many of the remarkable ideas Leonardo DaVinci conceived, from the parachute to the airplane to the helicopter (400 years before the Wright Brothers) to armored vehicles and other military machines to the first autopsies, in which he sketched the earliest maps of the interior of the human body. I also asked John about the Mona Lisa and some of the nonsense in Dan Brown's "The DaVinci Code."
