Last year, I wrote a sketch about a brilliant Renaissance inventor whose curse was that he was so far ahead of his time he invented the computer mouse before anyone had invented the computer.
Today, I came across this picture in the catalogue of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
It was made by the ancient Egyptians. Poor old Barbieri - five hundred years ahead of his time; three thousand years behind it.

I wonder what 'Dell' is in hieroglyphs...
