First...I think there's some disparity in those last two votes...what happened there?
Second, Thucy--but the Roman/Justinian Codes and The Ten Commandments were born independently of Hammurabi's Code, in fact, I might be wrong, but don't the Ten Commandments pre-date Hammurabi? And even if not, the Jews were only caught up there fAR AFTER Hammurabi was king, and they had the Ten Commandments by then, so surely those were born seperate--and THEY have formed half of all Western legal ideals to come, the other half being the Greco-Roman ideas...the Romans were influenced by the Greeks, and...well, somehow I don't see a Babylonian influence on Ancient Greece, other influences yes, but not Babylon.
So we'd still have Codes and Laws without Hammurabi, I think...
And I agree, Armstrong should've been on the list...FAR more deserving than a few of our mathematicians and--GAH!--Madonna...
Really,. first on the MOON or "Vogue," which should be up there?
Though I DO think folks like Martin Luther King, Albert Einstein, Hitler, Stalin, FDR, and a few others (maybe The Beatles if their music does endure as well as it has for a half century so far) will be remembered from the 20th Century in 2760.
Rights for an entire race, E=MC2 and all the other things, WWII, The Holocaust, the USSR, and...and well, being the most popular and important musical act of the 20th Century by far in terms of musical and social influence, those things have a shot at being remembered.
In the year 105105,
If man is still alive,
If robot can survive,
They may find...
In the year 2525,
Folks living up on the Moon wil thrive,
New Berlin and New London, too,
Complete with a Moon War Two.
In the year 3535,
Mankind will face an alien bee hive,
Get your computer viruses ready, I say,
In case we need an Independence day.
In the year 4545,
The New New New York City will thrive,
Paris's gleaming, it's a wasteland in LA--
Still I guess that's pretty much like that today.
In the year 5555,
People living on Saturn's Titan moon will die,
God decided to end Earth's case,
But He flooded the wrong place.
In the year 6565,
That Beatles reunion will have arrived,
And their first song back is "I Feel Fine,"
Shortly followed by "Numbah Nine.."
In the year 7510,
God's gonna speak to the philosophers and then,
Deciding they were pretty right about his stay,
God packs up and goes on permanent holiday.
In the year 8510,
The Chicago Cubs will win the World Series again,
But from Boston to Beijing people are in a craze,
Saying "This must be the End of Days!"
In the year 9595,
Man takes on God's role, a new race comes alive,
But after just a few years they all said,
"You know what, I think God is Dead."
Now man's lived ten thousand years,
And has chugged countless Lite beers,
And now the supply's run dry,
Man's faced nuclear death,
But without beer on his breath,
He looks at the universe for once--and starts to cry...
Oh whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa............
