I think that Leonardo should get his spot because he was waaaaay ahead of his time. He was so inventive and creative and willing to try new things. He doesn't think outside the box. He draws a model of the box and figures out that the boxes weakpoint can be implemented in his new design. ![]() Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

you have a point, it's hard to say who was more ahead of his time though. i mean tesla's theories are still today being found practical, and he lived alongside edison. davinci did have his head in the early modern age though. i'd just like to see the two work together. now THAT would be cool. |

He is trolling, badly. In any case One person to mention is Lenin. I am not going to make any comment on soveit russia, but that man was a revolutionary if there ever was one. |

Lenin is a very good shout actually. Also, honestly not trolling here, but I'd also say Hitler. Another man ahead of his time in 3/4 instances... Smoking, drugs, animal rights... the guy did so many good things. As for his bad things... let's not forget that history is written by the victor. |

I will admit that Hitler did have some good ideas, but also a few VERY bad ones. As I said in one of our little debates Dantos, the negative actions of people rightfully overshadow their good ones, on a certain scale. A man bombing people in da viking lands, a leader committing genocide, these are a few things that overshadow ones good veiws. |

Meh, as I have also said. The guy had a point. Everything he has said would happen if they lost WW2, has happened. History is written by the victor my friend. The victor's propaganda becomes fact, the loser's fact becomes propaganda. |

But to say attempted (And pretty effective) extermination of all non-german people and people he in general didn't like is a bit of a horrid thing, and something that I think would stop him from being viewed in any positive light. |
