Famous Name Trivia
OK folks, here’s a little trivia question for you: What do Aristotle, Socrates, Plato, da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Gauguin, Cézanne, Van Gogh, Rodin, Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, Wagner, Genghis Khan, Freud, Copernicus, Galileo, Einstein, Napoleon, Hitler, Stalin, Churchill, Washington, Lincoln, Kennedy and Obama all have in common?
Give up? The answer is that they are all famous names that are totally unfamiliar to more than 90 percent of the Shalampaxian population.
Here’s a follow-on question: What other world-famous, non-Shalampaxian names belong on that list? If you answered, “all of them,” give yourself some bonus points. Oh, what the heck? Seeing as though they have no monetary value and can’t be redeemed for anything whatsoever, give yourself a million bonus points. I’m feeling generous today.
If this leads you to believe that Shalampaxians are the least informed people on the planet, I have one question for you: You haven’t been paying attention all this time, have you? Either that or you are new to this blog. Get with it.
Thanks for the Million points, I’m planning on combining them with my points that also have no value from other sites and selling them as website point derivatives.
@Project Savior: You are welcome. Isn’t it amazing what you can do with derivatives? You can turn something worthless into a fortune–as long as nobody looks behind the curtain.
Until I got to Obama, my answer was they are all dead. That was a premature rush to judgement it seems.
@David: There’s no shame in rushing to judgement before all of the information is in. I do that all of the time because it’s efficient and I’m probably not going to come to the right conclusion even if I do have all of the information anyway.
