Gotta be thinking of Schweitzer...it's the hair.... So who's the most recognized man?...a lot of people saw those huge pictures of Lenin every May and October (and a subset of those people saw them year-round)...a lot of people saw the pictures of Hitler, Che Guevara, and the Zouave on the Zig-Zag cigarette papers too.... But for sheer recognition, nobody comes close to Ernie Keebler....r Signature"You got Schadenfreude on my Weltanschauung!"

Thanks. I finally looked for "Ernie Keebler" with Google, and found out why I didn't recognize the name. "Snap, Crackle, and Pop" are familiar to me, but I don't know if I've ever eaten a Keebler product. I don't know if they are marketed in Canada or not, but if they are, they are not ones I have purchased. pvstownsend@zyx-abc.fsnet.co.uk had it ... > Fred (or somebody else of the same name) wrote thusly in message > <467d9191$1@clear.net.nz>: [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Albert Einstein Mohammed, yes, but you need the remainder of his name: Mohammed Ali.

Wrong sort of recognition. He must mean Moses, who is recognized as a prophet by adherents of no fewer than three out of three of the world's Great Monotheistic Religions (tm and sm). He looks a bit like Charlton Heston, albeit with the gun pried from his cold, dead hands.

Followers of the Semitic School of Religion-Building (tm) used to be a lot more creative. Among the surviving variants are the Mandaeans, who reject as false prophets not only Muhammad, not only Jesus, but also Moses and even Abraham, but are big supporters of John the Baptist.

The head clearly belongs to the body wearing the cloak - to the small Scotsman standing on a box (not shown) behind the large headless man holding the tablets. Wee Archie already has a firm grip on the hindmost tablet and pretty soon he'll have it away and sell it for drink. Which is why we've only got ten commandments.
