How well informed are you?

[Nitty]

There are more than 100 world known personalities on this painting.
If you can name a minimum of 25, you may consider yourself a well-informed person. Who wants to play name them all?

Where is Roosevelt Ga5?

Edit;
For Ga5

I think your Roosevelt might be my Hitchcock? And i think i it is hitchcock, because Roosevelt had spectacles.
You have to agree if we are talking about the same oke here, that it could be either Teddy or Alfred

[Vortex]

OK, in no particular order.. We can think of a way of identifying them..

Pharoah Rameses III
Moses
Hitler
Saddam Hussein
Mike Tyson
Lord Nelson
Bill Clinton
Albert Einstein
Abraham Lincoln
The King.. Elvis Presley
Steven Hawkin
Lenin (Not John)
The Bulldog.. Winston Churchill

Abraham (towing the camel)
Kofi Anan
Osama Bin Laden
Vladimir Putin
Joseph Stalin
Vladimir Lenin

[senorblinky]

That's Eisenhower, next to michael jordan (to the left)

How can we possibly compare notes people?!

[Nitty]

Wow, I am truly impressed with those lists! Well done guys :sharp:

So how many MENSA members do we have in the guild?

[Thumponius]

None because that might mean expending effort and energy best spent elsewhere. Like in braai'ing and drinking.

[senorblinky]

hey, i got my 25... plus...

[Nitty]

You did very well Blinky. And yes, I do think that's Dolly - well spotted! :)

[Vortex]

Oops - I have Lenin twice..

[Nitty]

At least you've confirmed that there's a Lenin in the pic ;)

[Arbythep00nage]

Its possible Moses might be Noah, while you can say Moses led his people through the desert there are also two sheep and two dogs from what I can see.

[Vortex]

I thought that was Abraham.. :shrug:

[senorblinky]

Well, since there aren't other really religious or holy figures (jesus or the Pope) i was thinking that it could be charles Darwin.

Also, anyone ever heard of a little light reading called Thus Spoke Zarathustra?
If that's the case, you might recognise the guy speaking to Karl Marx (left infront of Picasso) as Friedrich Nietzsche.

And the guy hitting the bottle between Hitchcock and Elvis is Ernest Hemingway. And the oke sitting behind Einstein is either Fyodor Dostoyevsky or Leo Tolstoy. But google images will have to confirm that.

I've had another look at the thing, and these are the only additional ones i can identify.
Wish we had a list of everyone, because it seems there is a lot of asian influence, and i don't mean to sound like a jackass, but they really all look the same to me, only their garb really tells them apart for me.

[Punky3025]
