If Hilter won the war, wouldnt that have been "One of the people on the list that you dont want to be with along with Jefferson, Lincoln, Washington" etc..

Next time life gets you down just think, at least Im not the first person who had AIDS/HIV. That should cheer you up :eek:

I don't think Jefferson, Lincoln and Washington would be one of those, but Winston Churchill would be. Funny, Stalin is on both lists. :p

What would be worse, realizing that you are the first person to get AIDS, or figuring out that you got it because you *ed a monkey? :eek:

Re: Reforming College Hockey

A little more info. Breakdown of the birthplace of the list. There were some questionable ones when I was figuring this out, when in doubt, I always went with the place of birth. For example, if a person was born of 2 people of English descent in France, sorry England, France gets the credit. Also, I list the current country of the place of birth. It would have been too confusing having the Austria-Hungary Empire and Holy Roman Empire and stuff like that to deal with. An example of this is Gregor Mendel, he was born to German parents, in the Austria-Hungary Empire, in a town that is in the current Czech Republic, Czech Republic gets the credit. I ignored Patient Zero for this, and for Watson and Crick, both the US and Great Britain get credit because one was from each country.

United States - 26
Great Britain - 23
Italy - 13
Germany - 8
France - 6
Russia - 5
Austria - 3
Poland - 2
Portugal - 2
Spain - 2
India - 1
Mongolia - 1
Switzerland - 1
Czech Republic - 1
China - 1
Venezuela - 1
South Africa - 1
Denmark - 1
Ireland - 1
Turkey - 1

Re: Reforming College Hockey

I see why this thread somehow managed to stay alive in the time since I got bored with it.

What strange left turn made the thread go in this direction?
 
Re: Reforming College Hockey

There are maybe 4-5 more that I think you guys would be able to get, then the rest are pretty tough. I will try to think of some hints.
