I don't see how you factored in common place celebrities and Alexander the great. That is blasphemy. Atilla the huin became great by his accomplishments. I mean sure Lady Gaga and Bono sang but c'mon man ...

These are fads of a time that will be forgoten. But we have immortalized Men who made their names by their accomplishments.

Well, there you have it. Either a mistake on your part will precipitate a great discovery or you will accomplish nothing at all without persistence. The latter is more probable. Why is this in Philosophy? How is this philosophical in any way?
