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.

  2. 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

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

  5. 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

  6. 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.
