He was also known to write two pages at once, one with each hand, simultaneously, the left hand covering the left page right to left and the right covering the right page left to right. 

thats mad!   a real genius   iv a got a copy of his diary at home       he was born out of wedlock so he was a "b@stard"  because of this he wasn't allowed to join the army  so he started doing  drawings of imaginary weapons, mechanisms and defense   stuff which hadnt been created

Leonardo da Vinci only used to have 20 min naps every couple of hours! he didnt actually properly sleep  he didnt want to waste any time   he also remained unmarried  he believed that marriage/sex would become a distraction     thats how dedicated he was!

not true the work on battle engines was for Sforza and they were made and used to devastating effect .

How inspirational. 

The way we could educate ourselves and our children. Lifelong growth..beginning with the Truth of SatNaam. 

Public education, even private education today, is a miseducation.

vegeterian diet used to live off chunky veg soup minestrone - I feed my family the same recipe it's better than jewish chicken noodle soup for a pick you up . He was unmarried despite being mighly admired as a youth because he played for the other side . In fact, it was an issue with his patrons balancing  his work's desirability and his personal habits .

None of them were used though   their purpose was mass destruction like the 12 barreled gun  but there is no evidence or written account of any of them being even being used   some of his his designs were later created but they worked wonky 

but yeah stuff like the armored car is believed to inspire the modern tank

he conceived many ideas very little of what he designed was actually created   though it did inspire others with their inventions.

Nobody actually knows if he was gay or not    its just a rumor   he was falsely accused of being gay  sodomy   by a local artist who was jealous   but when he went to court there was absolutely no evidence or proof of him being gay   no witnesses what so ever   so he wasn't found guilty       this accusation though did damage his reputation and he left town.

he was quite a philosophical man   and saw sex as a distraction from focus

he was also responsible for architectural designs , in fact his last work at age 87 was the  Sforza Chapel

Artists have always been wrongly accused and misunderstood simply because they never followed the same pattern of thought as everyone else   they saw the world differently
