Seeing as the annual carob harvest is nearly upon us here's a thought whilst toiling away in the undergrowth.......

"All the branches of a tree at every stage of its height when put together are equal in thickness to the trunk [below them]"

Senor De Vinci,not me

Dear Nobrot,
My eyes are not as good as they were, was this fact done by de Vinci as my other half states, or as I thought by a man on de Vino!!!!!!!

Obviously Leonardo didn'nt have donkeys, cos they decimate all the branches that they can reach

Dear Forum Members,
Some people have been hoodwinked by this conman L.da Vinci ( who I am led to believe was a part time solicitor in his time. Sounds to be a real swine to me. ) Firstly Nobrot the tree theory of the branches was by L. De Vino as his name suggested he had a problem with drink. Now this is were the confusion started: he was a short fat balding man with no front teeth who caught the 1510 train to Barcelona every Thursday for cheap wine and not as thought by Ebrovoice, Da Vinci did try and get in on the act by saying the branches squirted water but this was De Vino using his soda syphon and at no point can I find any reference to the lady quoted on your website Teresa Stop. As for Cactus's comment of the donkey and the branches Da Vinci did notice that two donkeys do more damage than one. Hope this has cleared up any confusion.
Always Accurate Bulldog.
