The 100 Greatest Americans revealed
The order isn't revealed yet. However, the list has, among others, Ellen Degeneres, Barbara Bush, Barack Obama, Dr. Phil and Pat Tillman. Oh, America!"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 worldTags: None

Bah, we recently had such a show in France, and the list included Coluche or Cousteau. Napoleon didn't even make it to the top 10 (fortunately, current celebrities didn't either )
Edit: well, current celebrities made it to the top 100 however. People such as
Brigitte Bardot (mostly known for showing her nice ass on TV in the 60ies),
Dalida (An Egyptian pop singer of the past),
Michel Platini (almost got us to win the football world cup in the 80ies), or
Daniel Balavoine (middle-of-the-road singer who died young) are next to Louis Pasteur, Marie Curie, or Voltaire.
My personal favorite remains Jacques Chirac, who manages a whooping #42Last edited by Spiffor; April 19, 2005, 08:16."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

Dammit, I see our votes for Ted Striker were in vain. I demand a recount!
...Lowtax would have deserved a nomination more than like 33% of the current candidates, too..."Spirit merges with matter to sanctify the universe. Matter transcends to return to spirit.

Einstein, Mel Gibson???
Anyone else wanting Wacko Jacko to win too?Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God? - Epicurus

What a fantastic list. Jed Bush must be feeling left out. Mom, Dad, bro and even sister-in-law got a place. Is that one of the greatest achievements in America, being married to a President?
Not many artists / writers / jazz musicians.
Quite a few non-Americans (Gibson? Why not Rupert Murdoch? Einstein? Tesla? Schwarzenegger? Why not Greg Norman? he lives in America. John Cleese lives in America, put him in.
No Johnny Carson, no Martha Stewart, no Sara Michelle Gellar, no Star Trek people at all, who voted for this list
