Last nite I was surfing past 20/20 and when Barbara Walters asked Leonardo Decaprio about his first name, he explained that when his mother was pregnant with him, his parents happened to be viewing a painting in Italy when she felt a kick from fetal Lenny, so his father chose the name. So Baba says, good thing it wasn’t the Mona Lisa. I can’t believe no one at ABC caught that. Since Leonardo DaVinci painted that, too. Or did I miss something?

baba slipped a gear and was thinking that would mean he’s be named Mona DiCapprio.
