:)

Very nice TM. I don't see George Washington. Be interesting to understand the artists view.
-
Why would Tojo be begging Qin Shi Huang?
-
No kiddin, cool pic TM!!! Funny, I see, Mike Tyson, Micheal Jordan, Bill Clinton, and Bruce Lee...
But not George Washington, or Abraham Lincoln... Unless I missed them in the "Where's Waldo" painting?
And Uncle Joe is bending Dante's ear, LOL!!! I guess he'd know all about hell, wouldn't he, LOL!!!
UBL is in there too, LOL!!! Didn't find Hitler either!!! Anyone see Christopher Columbus?? Neal Armstrong??
RC
OK, found Abe, he's chattin with Mao... Found Hitler, by the piano, listening to Beethoven play...
-
Ah, there's Christopher Columbus, right behind Dante, Next to Elvis, LOL!!!
What a group, I'll bet would be a hell of a party!!!
-
one of our fellow AHers is photoshopped in there too. :)
Go to the link instead of looking at the little image I placed in there. It's easier to see, and allows you to mouse over each person for information :)

HiTech is next to Noah :)

It is a pretty stupid painting. Mike Tyson and Shirley Temple?? Give us a break!
And for American Presidents, he has Abraham Lincoln, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. Yet, no Washington, Jefferson, or Theodore or Franklin Roosevelt.

I would certainly put this near the top of useful/interesting things to be found on the internet.
Thanks for sharing!
:salute

Lincoln is in there. But Washington, i see no reason why he should be on it. What did he do to influence the world?
-
I was surprised to see Dubya, Clinton and Putin on there.
-
Just curious, how many ppl have looked at the picture legend? And how many could you recognize without cheatin? I haven't peeked, so wondering who else hasen't? ;)

It was a "famous people" painting....
Not "Influential".
Hence the absence of many of history's most notables. (Probably why Einstein looks pretty bored)
I do have to wonder what Kavorkian is leaning over and saying to Sigmund Freud.
-
I didn't see Jesus :huh But it's a cool painting anyway :)
-
Funny how Gee Dubya seems to be keeping a close eye on Saddam

Lincoln is in there. But Washington, i see no reason why he should be on it. What did he do to influence the world?
Other than rejecting the idea of a king and instead choosing democracy/the presidency, cleverly utilizing spies in the revolutionary war, and generally being an icon of what it means to be an American... nothing I guess.

Being the father of the country that has influenced so much Id imagine.
-
Tyson's sitting on him.
-
Other than rejecting the idea of a king and instead choosing democracy
He is not the only one that rejected the kings, there are many others too.
the presidency
Then why are 43 other presidents not on the panting?
cleverly utilizing spies in the revolutionary war
Yes, he was a master mind when it comes to spies. Unfortunately he was, by far, a horrible military leader.
generally being an icon of what it means to be an American.
Well, he is only a big icon for being the first president. He wasn't that great of a president but being the first usually will put you on the top. if he was 5th or 7th president, it would be a different story on how he was as a president. Let me remind you that technically he is NOT the first president, there where three others who where president before Washington.
So why is Theodore Roosevelt not on there, Otto von Bismark, Patton, Crazy Horse, Geronimo, Sacajawea, Hiawatha, Gene Autury, John Muir, Gifford Pinchot, Wright brothers, Ho Chi Minh, Erwin Rommel, Catharine the Great?
-
Otto Von Bismarck is on there.

Otto Von Bismarck is on there.
