Recently published: the list of The 101 Most Influential People Who Never Lived. Pretty interesting: who says you have to be real to have an influence on society? The top 10 are:

1. The Marlboro Man, 2. Big Brother, 3. King Arthur, 4. Santa Claus (St. Nick), 5. Hamlet, 6. Dr. Frankenstein's Monster, 7. Siegfried, 8. Sherlock Holmes, 9. Romeo and Juliet, 10. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

Personally I'm dissapointed that the ugly duckling got such a bad rating.

The rest are here.
