1. No Philosophers. Sorry Socrates. There is a reason why Philosophy majors are fckin useless and unemployed.

2. No Artists or Musicians The invention of toilet seats is more important than all of Beethoven, Mozart and Vivaldi's music combined.

3. No Kings, Conquerers or Political figures Ghandi was a nice man but.. see #2.

Did you get a sort of drowning feeling when you typed this?

I'm biased towards Tesla since he was born and is of Serbo-Croatian descent as me.

Leonardo would be out of place on that list because he didnt really contribute anything other than some pretty pictures.

Gutenberg's invention was ESSENTIAL for future great minds. Gutenberg is the reason Da Vinci, Newton and Galileo even had books to study from.

I think I would've voted for Russell just because he sounds so much more intelligent than, well, anyone ever.
