Borg - old tennis star. - late 70s early 80s.
Also inspiration for Star Trek villains.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Omitting Nobel really makes this useless. Most people (except, as ever, Hollywood scriptwriters) can place that name immediately."The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.
"I think the real figures probably are about a million or less." - David Irving on the number of Holocaust victims.Comment

If everyone knows who Alfred Nobel is, surely he doesn't need to be included on the list?

Perhaps we have a couple of Hollywold scripters here at 'Poly?

Anyway, I don't think most English people would know who Nobel was. Almost everyone I've asked seem to think the Nobel prices were in fact Noble prices...Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

Maybe I spend too much time with academics. Dunno.
So, where are the Abba girls then, huh? I'm sure a lot of the people who think it's "Noble" who place them..."The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.

I imagine he is similar to Brian Eno who, among other things, composed the Windows '95 opening sequence music.Originally posted by Kropotkin

All right, Swedes, reveal thy mysteries. Who is Max Martin? And while we're at it, who is Carl Wilhem Scheele, and why do you assume anyone's heard of him? Same goes for Max Martin, too."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit. The interchangeability of matter and spirit means the starlit magic of the outermost life of our universe becomes the soul-light magic of the innermost life of our self." - Dennis Kucinich, candidate for the U. S. presidency
"That’s the future of the Democratic Party: providing Republicans with a number of cute (but not that bright) comfort women." - Adam Yoshida, Canada's gift to the worldComment

Scheele was a chemist; I only know about him b/c of a book I recently read.
I knew Gustavus Adolphus; Astrid Lindgren; Carolus Linnaeus; Carl Scheele; Ingmar Bergman; Dag Hammarskjöld; and Raoul Wallenberg.I refute it thus!

Scheele is one of Sweden's more famous scientists, a chemist who among other things discovered no less than seven common elements (all shared-credit in textbooks, due to the shoddy publishing system of the period, but generally taken to include Oxygen, Nitrogen and Chlorine) plus a number of now-famous acids.Originally posted by Stefu

Max Martin is sweden's most infamous record producer and songwriter, and has written such wonderful classics as, erm, "Baby One More Time" and "Oops I did It Again" by Britney Spears and several Backstreet boys songs. Several american grammy awards from Songwriting, and generally representing everything that's wrong with pop.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän
