Who are your heroes? And I don't just want to hear "Rick Wakeman, Bill Bruford and Robert Fripp." Be original, guys!
My heroes are Franz Liszt, Genghis Khan, and David X, Cohen (comedy writer for Futurama, among other things.) |

Leonardo Davinci, Abbie Hoffman, Nikola Tesla, Albert Einstein, Timothy Leary, Aldous Huxley, Stephen Hawking, and my uncle for others.
Pretty wacky list eh?

My avatar is my hero.
I knew several heroes (including my father)... common people trying to have a life, to raise their children, to let something positive for others, etc. they weren't famous but I salute them all.
