where's my picture ?? ;)

I wonder what the criteria was, because there's a lot more geniuses in history (or now) than 16.

I consider Fritz Haber a genius, he was the father of the Haber Bosch process, the product of which sustains more than 2 billion people worldwide
That fertilizer is responsible for sustaining one-third of the Earth's population

Then there would be Erwin Rommel, a military genius

Augustus Ceasar, he had to be a genius

who else ??

I agree with the list is far from complete, there is room for many more, but I guess they've set the limit pretty tight, otherwise we would have read all week out....
