Who do you think made the list?

Did any of your favorites make it?

Who do you think should be on the list that is not there?

And, who do you think is on the list that should not be there?

Not a bad list overall, but there are a few people on it that I've never heard of.

XDDDDDD, I only recognized 3 people on the entire list! lol
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

I'm glad that George Cloony made it! It's also great that Lucille Ball made #2 on the list. :yes:

Someone on there that I don't think should've been there was Ellen DeGeneres. Sure, she has her own show, but it's not like she has done anything impressive (and she can be a little too goofy sometimes).

I only knew of around 19, myself.

I can understand Lassie, I suppose, although surely there was a person that could have filled this spot. I don't understand homer simpson, though. That's weird.

The top 30 are good. Well, except maybe Letterman - I'm not sure why he would rank that high when Leno didn't even make the list. Homer Simpson I can understand because he's part of a very long lasting series (but really, I would have thought Bart would make on the list first).

After the top 30, the list stops making much sense. Henry Winkler, Barker, Fox, Clooney, Gellar, and Lucci belong on the list, but not the rest of those people. Half of them I don't know, but the rest are just not iconic. Ellen? She's forgettable, not iconic.
