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???

    Started the idea of building a 10,000 year clock. If anyone remembers it in 1000 years, then it's probably good to go for the next 9000. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_of_the_Long_Now [wikipedia.org]

    Bezos will kill Musky in hand to hand combat on Mars, impregnate Musky's harem, and use the resulting soldiers to attacc Earth. Once he has conquered the blue planet he will rewrite the history books and become the millennium man.
