Two men with impressive resumes.

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath, having been a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (2 October 1869 – 30 January 1948) was a major political and spiritual leader of India and the Indian independence movement.

A tough call this. Perhaps in personal talent, the obvious is da Vinci and his skills certainly influenced art and culture as well as science and politics which made an impact on the shaping of European history. Gandhi on the other hand, epitomises quiet tenacity, and ultimately has changed the destiny of a country home to more than one sixth of the world's population. Hmm. I'll think.

Why is Ghandi losing to a Grave Robber? Ghandi was more noble and more important in history. Da Vinci was talented, but Ghandi was great.

Yep, I think that about sums up the coalescence of my thoughts, thanks Amb.
