Are you civilized?


There are more than 100 people with world-wide acclaim. You can consider yourself to be a civilized person if you can name at least 25 of them. Good luck.

Would have love to see this picture in a bigger format. It's a bit small on my screen. Anyway, here are my 25:
1. Aristotle
2. Platon (or Socrates. Diffucult to see the difference between all those bearded greeks. Pretty sure on Aristotle, though).
3. Pele
4. Bruce Lee
5. Lenin
6. Stalin
7. Hitler
8. Churchill
9. Thacher
10. Chaplin
11. Saddam
12. Genghis Khan
13. Napoleon
14. Mao
15. Lincoln
16. Einstein
17. Brando
18. Che Guevara
19. Castro
20. Arafat
21. Gandhi
22. Queen Elisabeth
23. Clinton
24. Shakespear
25. Marx

I'm surprised I didn't see Beethoven or Mozart in there. Maybe I missed them?

Congrats. Who'd you think the guy next to the piano was? Liberace?

Anders said...

Wasn't sure. Not used to se B-man pictured from behind with dark hair. Mozart isn't there, though?

Anders said...

And why shouldn't Liberace be there? I'm sure he's liked by more people then Beethoven, but their musical taste doesn't count because it isn't "high-culture" enough? Eh?
:-D

Wilhelm said...

I counted yesterday and quit when I got to 27 or 28 - at that point I was satisfied.

Good point re: Liberace - turns out I'm quite the cultural snob. Ricky Martin should've been there as well.

Anders said...

LOL.
are you sure he isn't in there somewhere? :-D

Wilhelm said...

...like I'm gonna go through the picture again...
