That's a great list.
I'm just surprised this video of pigs being shot out of a cannonball over a baseball stadium never made it onto that list.

Not a bad list. I almost knew of all of them. Thanks for keeping it mainstream and not abscure, intellectual, high-society stuff. It helps me, the Common Man, to enjoy. Although I do like learning...

I can certainly imagine my life without the "pitbull in lipstick," I am not a high-minded person yet, some of the people are not what anyone can call, "providential" in nature.
None of these people are commodious, to the common good and will prove to be worse than there predecessors in their respective fields.
Surely there were more than these that your editors could have chosen, people who did make a difference in the lives of all so inclined. Yet your chose these people, for what reasons I do not know, but in choosing them you have shown the sometimes shallow nature of lists that review the past years experiences and people of "note."
Thank you.
