That painter, isn't much for physical accuracy. Michael Jordan is barely recognizable as himself. As is Elvis (if that is who it is supposed to be). Who is the artist anyway? Dare I ask.

Whois the lady on the far left, with her chin in her hand?

That's the problem I'm having. Curtis LeMay is only recognizable because of his build, stars, and cigar.

The boxer is wearing black trunks and low black ring shoes and is heavily muscled in the upper body. That's Tyson, and that's what he looked like when he first hit the floor against Douglas. Liston wasn't as heavily-muscled and wore white trunks with a black stripe in one fight, black trunks with a white stripe in the other, and black high-top shoes with white socks both times in his fights with Clay.

Having a hard time with the Orientals . . . I picked out Mao and (I think) Confucious, and isn't that Yao Ming to the right of Bush? There are also a couple of candidates for Genghis Khan . . . and a possible Chiang-Kai Shek. (the artistry isn't really the best.)

Bruce Lee is a gimme.

But who the heck is that Oriental guitar player at the upper left?

That's exactly what I thought! George W in pajamas with a telescope. WTH?

And to his right there's Nelson Mandela playing a flute. That one rates a "WTF?".

I am torn as to whether the guy at the piano is Frederic Chopin or Nestor Makhno. The artist is so skillful, it could go either way.

Got quite a few but one is really bugging me...

The guy leaning in, almost as an aside, to Freud?

Also, Castro, Che, and...Vito Corleone? Cuban Casinos? Lol.

One more... the spiked helmet guy? Wilhelm II? Franz Ferdinand?

This is fun.

I think the problem is not that I am not smart enough, instead, that the people aren't famous enough.

My first call on the guy talking to Freud was it's Harry Truman, then I started second-guessing myself. Did a little photo-checking and decided to go with my first reaction.

I think the man in the pickelhaube is Wilhelm II, too. The Archduke's moustache was pointed and turned up at the ends and he didn't have a beard.

I'm pretty sure Genghis Khan is the guy on the horse with a horse bow and quiver on his saddle. That's pretty standard for Mongolian light cavalry, and that's how Khan built his empire.

Who's the guy behind Picasso? First thing I thought when I saw him was, "What's Roy Scheider doing in there?" Granted Roy's a famous actor but I don't think he has the rep to be included in this bunch.

Many or most of these famous people are bad guys. I know I don't want to be famous.

I once took an online quiz which asked the question: "Would you rather be forgotten, or hatefully remembered?"

If you look along that line of sight from left to righ you have Ghengis, Napoleon, Che, Castro, Vito and Arafat. More like a line of evil Dictators or something along those lines. Boxer looks like Tyson to me. My guess at the piano is Beethoven.

I just literally glanced at it for a couple seconds and I saw....
Einstein
Mao
Lincoln
Hitler
Moses
Churchill
Ghandi
Stalin
Grace Kelly
Mr. Ed
and some Wino.

I figured Castro would have his arm around "some wino." Seemed more likely than Don Corleone, but anyway...
