So, Da Vinci used hair jell to get that oh so philosophic look...

[WCGreen]

At least according to Starz.

They really try to get other parts pretty much down but they just couldn't leave out the hair jell...

Didn't you know that da Vinci invented hair gel in between painting and war machines.

The rumor is he discovered it after painting the Mona Lisa and running his hands though his hair. Others say it's cannon grease.

4. Meh

This series goes further with poetic license than is even remotely credible. Other than attractive actors and actresses in various stages of undress (which is more than OK with me), it just doesn't have that much to offer. They lost me with the flying artificial raptor a week or so back.

5. I've only watched the one...

Leonardo was a great hero of my formatable years.

I think it will not be watched. Starz did such a great job with the Cathedral Epic a few years back and Magic City is pretty good.

7. I agree with you

I can take it or leave it.

Starz has done an interesting marking thing, though. They have an app that you synchronize with the show. As the show progresses, more info is revealed on various items and people. It's just a gimmick, but a pretty slick gimmick.

6. It's the only way to get tresses

But I think the ancient Egyptians had that melting wax hair do thing going long before that.

8. Hair Gel has existed for thousands of years

In Ancient Egypt and Messopotamia, they used bees wax and honey

Even the original inhabitants of this continent used a form to keep their hair out of their faces. I think it was some form of pine tar
