Stupid People are ruining everything...

[Eric Renderking Fisk]

Someone posted this on FB and I had to share it with you folks...

If it's too big, you might have to open it in a new tab...

Can YOU name all the people in that picture?

[Henri Defense]

I recognize just about everyone, but can only name Hawking, Tesla, Curie (sp?), Darwin, and Einstein.

I know I'm going to kick myself once somebody names the rest, particularly the guy in the right corner.

The guy in the upper right is Carl Sagan. If you are someone who loves Astronomy and Space Science, you have to watch Sagan's "Cosmos." I'm a smarter person now because I did when I was a teen.

[Hakaider]

And the scary part about this is that, you have teens now on the internet who are either completely ignorant about history, or boldly claim that WWI and WWII never happened. (But Kim Kardashian & Snookie exist, and that's the only "Real" history to them.)

[Super Ordinary Guy]

That guy in the right corner , I must have seen that picture a lot but I sure don't remember the name that goes with it....

On the plus side I have no clue who the chick with the booze is and honestly I am glad I don't.......

Lucky man...

I think the guy in the top right is a young Carl Sagan, but I could be wrong. In any case, I never thought Sagan was all that intelligent. And sad to say, I only recognize Einstein and Hawking, of the others. The woman in the pic on the left, middle, the picture is too small, but I might not know her anyway.

And like SOG, thankfully I don't recognize the girl.

Blackthorn, SOG, I can't believe how out of touch you are my friends. The young lady has obviously found out that she is to be Michael Moore's blind date and is dealing with it the best way she knows how.

Consider yourself a very lucky man, blackthorn.

The woman with the booze is "Snookie". (Her real name is Nicole Elizabeth "Snooki" Polizzi.) She's the star of the "Reality T.V." shows called "Jersey Shore". To say that the show is quite "sleazy", is a BIG understatement. All you see is people getting emotional or "emo" in the show. There is no acting or story involved, just a lot of random hissy fits being thrown, which boyfriend/girlfriend gets cheated, and who gets to be the most self centered person for the week.

(If someone ever ties me up in a chair and forces me to watch "Jersey Shore", I can gurantee you that within less than 5 minutes, I will start yelling my rank & serial number, and citing the Geneva Convention for humane treatment for Prisoners of War.)

The show is really is THAT bad.

And no, "Snooki" can't dance, can't sing, and can't act, but the amount that she charges for a single appearance would cost several times more than paying the late Carl Sagan or Stephen Hawkins for a single appearance at a show or an event.

"Snooki" was once paid $32,000 to speak at Rutgers University. During her speech to the students, she would ramble on about what it's like to be celebrity, and her most profound "advice" to the students was, "Study hard, but party harder".

And the sad part is that it's likely that she probably made more money than Albert Einstein, Madam Curie, Sigmund Freud, Charles Darwin, Nikola Tesla made in their lifetimes.

And oh yeah..she was also arrested at one time in July 2010 for "disturbing the peace", "disorderly conduct", and "criminal annoyance of others" on Seaside Heights, New Jersey. She was fined $500 & was told to serve a certain amount of community service. In May 2011, she collided into a parked Italian police car in a Florence, Italy, and 2 Italian police officers sustained minor injuries.

The saddest part is that "Snookie" has become the role model for many teens today, and many of them want to become like her. Great men and women like Albert Einstein and Madam Curie are often seen as too "lame" as role model by these teenagers.


But to answer the question...

From first top to bottom:
Stephen Hawkins.
Marie Skłodowska-Curie or "Madam Curie"
Nikola Tesla (Serbian American inventor)

2nd top of bottom:
Albert Einstein
Sigmund Freud

Fourth top to bottom:
Carl Sagan
Charles Darwin

(I'm still trying to figure out the 3rd top to bottom.)

I knew Madame Curie( at least I think that is her) because that same picture was in one of my high school textbooks....

As to this guy, the following pic should explain.

Is it true that she allowed you to go to second base on the second date? I hear she really put out.

As always, Pilot, your insight is 20/20. Well said, my friend!

[Eric Renderking Fisk]

If that's what she drank when she found out she was Moore's blind date, what did he drink? A bottle of penicillin or rat poison?

Hmm. I'm not sure Eric, but if you mention rat and poison in the same sentence MR Moore may take it personally.

Gah! I knew that! I've seen Cosmos. (albeit loooong time ago in school) and there's also this awesome video.
