Except that he's a frickin' fictional character.

Come on guys. Let's hear it for the great inventors the US has produced. Edison and the Wright Bros. are clearly at the forefront. Bell may have been a Canadian. We also should consider Morse. We have one vote for Oppenheimer.

What about Samuel Colt?

So is Simon Legree. But I think he should be included because he represents the Old South.

**Boris Godunov** · April 21, 2005, 19:10

Wright bros. are overrated. Half a dozen other guys were working on the same **** concurrently, they just happened to beat them to the punch (and not by much).

Edison, on the other hand, certainly rocks.

Simon Legree should be on a list of 25 greatest Americans? The Nedaverse gets stranger every day.

If the Brits can vote Homer Simpson as Greatest American, I don't see why I can't

No, Boris. I was referring to MTG's alternate list of great Confederates.

The Brits only did it out of mockery. And probably many of them were too dumb to know he's not real.
