I see some hands over here...
no good. too many georges.
What was the name of that 80's toy store in Pittsburgh?
why aren't you better at jeopardy barker? it seems you're just another failure.
I've got a couple of suggestions.
First, dump Sam Walton. Never mind how you feel about the politics and business practices of Wal-Mart, let's just focus on the incredible crappiness of much of their merchandise.
Rather, let us add Richard Sears or Frank Woolworth, without whom Sam Walton would have been stuck tending to the cracker barrel.
I'd also suggest replacing Neil Armstrong with Robert Goddard, as without the latter you'd likely have not gotten the former.
I'd also replace Elvis with someone like Chuck Berry, but that's mostly me hatin' on Elvis.
I've obviously had my head in the Orgo book too long. When did hockey start again?
I'm totally gonna fake on the list:
1. Audie Murphy should be out. Granted, he killed Germans by the train load, and that was quite a useful skill at the time period, but I don't the the war would've gone much differently had he been killed in action.
2. Clinton- should be in the "Too soon to tell" category- though I have a theory that people of our generation will one day regard the 1990s as our parents regarded the Eisenhower 1950s- "The Good Old Days."
3.Sagan- talented, but more as someone who could make seem physics seem interesting to the proles than an actual great physicist. Arrogant? Maybe, but I'm a physics major. Arrogance is what we use to cover the fact that we have no money and can't get laid.
4. Jesse Owens- I admire the guy, and how he showed up Hitler, but c'mon, it was one Olympics. Besides, he was a Buckeye.
5. Armstrong- if a coin flip goes the other way, Aldrin takes his place. Putting a man on the moon is arguably the greatest thing we've ever accomplished, but it wasn't Armstrong who made it possible.
How about Gregory Pincus, inventor of the oral contraceptive?
