I was on facebook the other night and noticed a invite from living social to name my five heroes from history. Its proving to be an enjoyable exercise trying to pick just five individuals the first picks were a gang of civilization smashing mass murderers. From their it got steadily more baffling i tried to be politically correct you know artists and great thinkers who have contributed something to the development of human civilzation and then i thought about trying to divide human civilization up in to fields. Still for science you are choosing from De Vinci, Newton, Gallileo or Darwin to name a few off hand then in the Arts; De Vinci ( again), Michelangleo, Van Goch. So its already quite a shortlist and then theres the fact that while i admire these guys ( and sadly they are all guys) they dont fire up my imagination that privilige belongs to the original gang of blood thirsty adventurers and swashbucklers. So now i am trying to decide what my definition of a Hero is and then pick my five.
Still at this point i would like to salute the bloke who finished the quiz already and chose Batman as one of his five historical heroes.
