Re: People who should be more famous than they are
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Alexander Hamilton, arguably the most brilliant of the founding fathers. [/ QUOTE ] He should be more famous? Wtf? Being on U.S. currency isn't fame enough? Not only that there are referneces to him in pop culture today (e.g. Aaron Burr Milk ad, oh yeah, also "you can call us Aaron Burr from the way we're droppin' Hamiltons"). How much more famous do you think he should be?? [/ QUOTE ] lol, I think you may be right guids, Hedy Lamarr is a good one.

Alexander Fleming (antibiotics)
Hubble (who was on par with Einstein physic's wise, and that was AFTER his retirement) Louis C.K. Mich Headburg I know they aren't no names, but the fact that Dane Cook is so well known and they're comparatively obscure drives me nuts.
