No offense to Linus, but there are far more important people this century.
I mean think of all the inventions which have revolutionized the way we do things this century. Sometimes, people scare me. A century is 100 years long, but I swear.. people only concentrate on the last 10 years. Sort of like that entire OJ thing... heard it was pronounced the "Event of the Century".... which would mean it surpased putting a men in space and the invention of the transistor.
I can think of a few people this century who have changed our world:
Pablo Picasso Sigmund Freud Buzz Aldran Henry Ford Albert Einstein John Lennon Yogi Berra Al Capone Mother Teresa Helen Keller John F Kennedy Groucho Marx Marylyn Manroe Elvis Presley
Linus is too young a person to hold such an honor... most of his years will be in the 21st century... maybe he'll become the man of the century... well, next century :)
