Who is who?

[Huang Rong]

Sadly, I have yet to reach the peak of perfection in ELOC recognition

^^ PJ, you with your amusing posts are one of the few people who've hardly failed to make me laugh.

23 might be Christopher Columbus?

I don't know who 23 is, and neither do my friends, but he doesn't look like C. Columbus. He must be a famous person in the history of Europe though.

The Chinese and Chinese-related people:
7 - Cui Jian, the pioneer of Chinese rock.

Good job, I had though No.7 was John Denver until my friend (who's from China) told me that he was Cui Jian.

The picture must be created by a Chinese. What the hell is Lei Feng doing in there? Who, who is not a Chinese (or a closely related ethnicity), would know Lei Feng?

I think you're right, none of my friends, except the ones from China of course, knows Lei Feng.

Could have been done by an arts student. Wasn't lei feng on all those communist propaganda posters?

No. 64 looks like Hua Tuo, and no. 100 looks like Zheng Chenggong. But I'm not sure. Many taoists wear that kind of robe, and no. 100 has a standard armor for a general.

i thought 64 looked like confuscious but i'm not sure.

[remember_Cedric]

Now, this is so much my eyes can take.....and I'm not listing those that have been (overly)listed

1. Bill Gates?
2. Audrey hepburn
5. Pelé
21. Sigmund Freud?
27. Prince Charles's Mother? The Queen?
31. Sir Stamford Raffles
36. Lu Xun (with his thick mostache)
39. Jewish Artist (forgot his name)
44. (definitely) William Shakespeare
47. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
54. Napoleon Bonaparte (short, which explains why he's often riding on horses)
81. Osama Bin Laden
84. Jerry Lewis?
90. Mother Theresa
101. (I think) Antonio Vivaldi

Thomas Edison must be hiding in there somewhere.....

Love this guessing game love History classes!

[pandamao]

80 & 68

Picasso and Ghandi.

[remember_Cedric]

Is Grigori Rasputin (the Mad Monk of the Tsar era) in the picture, by chance?

I'm guessing, no. 42, that's ra ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian Queen!

Gotta love history!!

[sniffles]

80 & 68

Picasso and Ghandi.

I think we've determined that 80 is Marcel Duchamp, not Pablo Picasso. Huang Rong is right - that's a Surrealist painting he's holding, not a Cubist painting.

You're right.

39. Jewish Artist (forgot his name)

I think No.39 is Henri Matisse, a famous fauvist.
3 other artists I can recognize:
No.52 Pablo Picasso
No.73 Salvador Dali (The Persistence of Memory)
No.72 Auguste Rodin (The Thinker, The Kiss)

[remember_Cedric]

You're right.

I think No.39 is Henri Matisse, a famous fauvist.
3 other artists I can recognize:
No.52 Pablo Picasso
No.73 Salvador Dali (The Persistence of Memory)
No.72 Auguste Rodin (The Thinker, The Kiss)

Thank you for the correction , Rong-er. This is interesting! Like a history lesson.

Anyone knows if I'm right on 42? Is that Rasputin? It looks very much like him, except that I'm not sure if he plays that instrument....for leisure?

[Huang Rong]

That long beard makes No.42 look kinda like Rasputin but I'm not sure, I'm not the author of the painting you know :P. Maybe No.42 is a famous accordion player.
Out of the 103 people I can only recognize about 60. Btw No.45 is Leonardo da Vinci, one of the greatest people ever lived, if you take a careful look at the painting you can see No.45 is gazing at the renowned drawing named the Vitruvian Man.

[remember_Cedric]

Haha ok.

I only read 102 according to the numberings. Are there 103 famous people in there? My eyes playing tricks on me. Who is that guy in 102, BTW? He looks like my neighbour. one friendly old man.

[Huang Rong]

102 I don't know who he is, but "103" is Yasser Arafat, he doesn't have a number :P.
85 may be Morgan Freeman, the actor who played Lucius Fox in The Dark Knight.

[remember_Cedric]

I think you're right, 85 is Morgan Freeman. I spotted Arafat now he is on the camel!
