Who will be remembered 1000 years from now

Journal by Gaaark

From the I-must-remember-to-start-a-major-war-and-mass-genocide dept.

Here's an interesting thought: who will be remembered 1000 years from now?

I'd say Adolf Hitler, for one. But not Donald Trump or Hillary.
Churchill (Adolf's arch enemy)? Maybe by the British, but.....

Elon Musk?
Carrot Top?

Kim Kardashian for frell's sake???

    Yeah, you don't what to be that Greek guy! But a bit early?

    The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was set ablaze on July 21, 356 BCE by Herostratus, who held nothing personally against Artemis or the temple, but saw its destruction as a path to personal fame.

    In the Thousand Year range, surely everyone can recall Canute? King of Denmark, England and Norway? The Dane to whom the Danegeld must be paid? Son of Sweyn Forkbeard? Great guy!
