BUT WHO WAS THE BIGGEST: Right Wing News has released its latest poll, with the latest theme being who made the biggest impact on history. Yours truly participated and here were my 20 choices:

Aristotle, Socrates, Hammurabi, Alexander the Great, Gaius Julius Caesar, Jesus Christ, Ronald Reagan, Adolph Hitler, Vladimir Lenin, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Johann Gutenburg, William Shakespeare, Martin Luther, Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Mohammed, Adam Smith, Charles Darwin

In retrospect I'm rather surprised that I didn't include Karl Marx on the list but anyone could have easily made a list of 40 people off the top of their head and still missed some big names. At any rate, you can see the results of the poll here.
