I went with PJ even though he lost points for Obama... but I couldn't pass up Neil Armstrong, Galileo, Moses and Muhammad.

My other vote goes to Charlie.  Tesla, Bach and JFK were great picks -- but Charlie edged out JaWiB with Jesus, the first George-W-president, Einstein and Voltaire.

JFK? I didn't draft any politicians :P

Sorry, gotta vote for PJ on this one.

Yeah... I too got confused on JFK but I'm sure he meant MLK.

And don't get too excited about PJ losing. If these scores hold then he loses the finals that means that I would have two wins just like him.

I think we have just the right age and generic favorites to do well in these things. :dunno: I don't do it for the glory anyway. :p
