I do wish there was at least one professional athlete on this list, though. That culture is one of the worst in terms of needing to constantly talk about "faith", "thanking god" for their win, blah blah blah.
Yeah Lance Armstrong would have been the perfect example. |

.... A little bit surprised not to see both Mythbusters guys up there.
They are both in the third line. Well, that is a comfort but I wonder why I only see Jamie Hyneman? Has Adam Savage changed his haircut again? |

They are both in the third line. So... what episode did they tackle mythological gods? (and what did they blow up to prove it? ;-) |

(and what did they blow up to prove it? ;-) After testing Pyramid power, Adam stated that they didn't want to test any more "oogy-boogy" myths. So none.  He has stated that he would like to test evolution by natural selection if he could find a good way to do it on TV.  |

Someday they're really going to have to explain why consent is such a difficult thing for them to comprehend, because that's really a puzzler. It's such a simple, basic concept. |

But, we missed the point the whole way along; It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing, or dance, while the music was being played." - Alan Watts
