I'll be absolutely frank here and say that although I love my friends and family very much, there is not a one of them who are as interesting as Louis Armstrong , Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, Orson Welles and Jane Goodall. They're just not. In our rush to bash people for liking "celebrities," let's not forget that very often people are celebrities for a GOOD reason. I really don't see what is so wrong about saying that. Now, of course, if the question were, "Name the five people you love the most," my answers would all be friends and family.

And Giant Hamburger and Baraka Guru, your lists are very interesting...makes me wish I could choose 10.

BKS Iyengar rocks!
