The Mythbusters got it right!

I was absolutely thrilled at the Mythbusters last night. This week's episode touched on the subject of rocket-powered flight. They mentioned a certain Renaissance master, and they referred to him as "Leonardo."

Why is this special? Because most buffoons would have called him "da Vinci," which is completely incorrect. His name was Leonardo. "Da Vinci" was simply Italian for "from Vinci," and it was not his proper name.

"But that's how people call him!" some people complain. That's true, but those people are incorrect. Let's not foster inaccuracy and ignorance, folks.
