Ahead of His Time

This is a transcript of an actual conversation I had this week. Sit back and let it blow your mind.

Jo: (enthusiastically) "My sister Audi told me they have a
hydro-powered car out now."

Me: (doubtfully, but so as to end the conversation) "Cool.
The future is now, Jo. The future is now."

Jo: (emphatically) "That's not true. They've had this
technology for 500 years. They've just never done anything with it."

Me: "What are you talking about? Who is 'they'?"

Jo: "That guy...what's his name...what's his name...DiVinci! Leonardo DiVinci invented it 500 years ago, so the technology's been around."

Me: (speechless)

Leonardo DiVinci! The hydro-powered car! And to think, we've had access to this information lo these 500 years!
