Hey look, it's a version of that thing I started before totally abandoning it without warning ('cause Finals are a bitch, folks...but it's OK...I'm *officially* a graduate-level windbag now, meaning I don't just get to write 10K word treatises on Shakespeare's every little doing for fun, but as a REQUIREMENT now, goody!) ;)
Anywho...
Leaders:
Elizabeth I (go Lizzie go!)
Muhammad (obvious)
Augustus (equally obvious)
Winston Churchill (ditto)
Alexander the Great (yep)
Genghis Khan (wasn't his first name actually Bob, though?) :p
FDR (Winston, FDR, or good old Lizzie...) :)
Artists:
Homer (or as the haters/damned realists call him, Ancient Greece) :p
William Shakespeare (what could *I* possibly have to say about Shakespeare?)
J.S. Bach (I do it with reservations--he could be Mozart--but he deserves it)
Mozart (Come on...Shakespeare or Mozart...!)
Picasso (hate to skip those above him, but Pablo DID reinvent a whole form of art)
Vergil (though if he dares beat the Bard again...)
Dostoyevsky (I argued TBK was the greatest novel of all-time, if I recall...I stand by it)
Michaelangelo (more Renaissance love...)
Monet (don't know how much support he'll get, but he deserves at least one vote)
Scientists (about whom I have jack squat to say...which I know everyone's sad about):
Turing
da Vinci
Aristotle (more for Aristotle the whole package than Aristotle's science, but still)
Copernicus
Archimedes
Albert Einstein
Gregor Mendel
Johannes Gutenberg
Rosalind Franklin
Charles Darwin
Galileo Galilei
Freud
Wild Card (hardest to rank against one another...):
Buddha (founded a major world religion...kinda important...
Constantine (why'd Constantinope get the works? That's nobody's business but the Turks!)
Martin Luther (much as I LOATHE him...)
Karl Marx (see Luther, though Marx is mere mild dislike compared to my Luther hatred)
Leibniz
Emma Watson (why the fuck she's here I dunno...but what the hell, lol, nice actress) :p
Jesus (even if he wasn't the messiah, and just a very naughty boy...)
Rene Descartes (I vote, therefore, he is...to be carried on)
15. Martin Luther King, Jr. (please, can we have him on the $20 instead of Jackson?)
Plato (wrote a few decent page turners, I suppose...)
John Locke (ditto Johnny Boy here)
Immanuel Kant (ditto this great big Kant here)
Adam Smith (...I can't really follow up that bad "Kant" joke...)
Bill Gates (because I'm typing this on a PC, lol)
Susan B. Anthony (Women's Suffrage, kind of a deal...)
Socrates (just don't offer him a drink)
