Crack, would it make you better if I said you and Tubgirl were the two internet legends that first pop into my mind?

I am a legend you say...? I see. Interesting. For what?

"Last of the Legends" to me seems like a totally absurd concept. That's like saying no one will ever accomplish anything signficant again since it's all been done already.

In a niche area dear to my heart, I'll jump on the "car guy" bandwagon with some of my legends:

Ayrton Senna, Jimmy Clark, Juan-Manuel Fangio, Enzo Ferrari, Sterling Moss, Tazio Nuvolari, Mario Andretti, Colin Chapman, Parnelli Jones, Mark Donohue, Roger Penske, Carroll Shelby, Michael Schumacher ...sorry since I'm sure I missed some of you great guys.

Yes, including such people as Norman Bethune.

As already noted, it's not about raw accomplishment. Of course people will achieve great things in medicine, politics, physics, etc, and people will continue to drive around and around in circles on a track and someone will call them "great" until such time as they pass into irrelavance, anyway.

If I could go back to the admittedly poorly defined begining of the thread and apply the definition mentioned in post #32 I would.
