Preamble.
Once I was forced to eat soup from a hose. There was nothing to go with it but stale Post-Its, which are better than nothing according to 9 out of 10 recently disabled hermits.
It was all to impress a female of the species. The species was Pongo pygmaeus. Moving on.
Amble.
1) Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519. The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci -- Complete. 1888.
To quote:
2) Berenstain, Stan; Berenstain, Jan. Those stupid Berenstain Bear books. Post 1979
Stupid moralizing jerks. Bears in the Night and Bears on Wheels were cool. The Berenstain Bears and the Drug Free Zone? Please.
3) Beckett, Samuel. Waiting for Godot. 1954
This pretty much sums it up:

That's it. I had some free time and now it's gone. Here's a picture of a monkey.

WHY MEN ADVANCED IN AGE SEE BETTER AT A DISTANCE.Huh?
Sight is better from a distance than near in those men who are
advancing in age, because the same object transmits a smaller
impression of itself to the eye when it is distant than when it is
near.

Leonardo, I understand you. But why aren't you writing backwards (and in a different language) like you normally do?
I've been thinking abour writing a book called "The DaVinci Cold". It's a book about this really great artist/inventor named Leonardo DiVinci who's got all these fantastic ideas and innovations. One day, he manages to find a cure for the common cold, but he doesn't tell anyone about it because he's afraid the Medicis (a Florentine family of doctors) will kill him. What he decides to do instead is hide the cure to the common cold in his notes and artwork.
Our story takes place in the present, when a cryptographer notices that one of the desciples in DaVinci's painting, "The Last Supper", is holding a Kleenex(tm) brand facial tissue...
