Socrates

Aristotles

Alexander the Great
Julius Caesar
Lorenzo de’ Medici
Ferdinando Magellano
Leonardo Da Vinci
Jean Jacques Rousseau
Immanuel Kant
Pasquale Paoli
Napoleon Bonaparte
Otto Von Bismarck
Napoleon III Bonaparte
Giuseppe Garibaldi
Jury Gagarin

Benjamin Franklin. He was a statesman, author, inventor. He was 6'3" at a time when people did not grow very tall. He also lived to be 86 years old. He had amazing genetics. But most of all, when he was Ambassador to France he got drunk one night and sent his girlfriend a toilet seat with a note that said "for the part of you I like the best".
