Forums - General Discussion - Who is the greatest person from your country?

I'd go Sir Edmund Hilary.

He is the archetype of a New Zealander, a humble but great outdoorsman.


Closely followed by Ernest Rutherford.



Around the Network

Johann Sebastian Bach
Johannes Gutenberg
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Martin Luther
Alexander von Humboldt

were the 5 historically greatest Germans in my opinion.

(I don't count Albert Einstein for Germany, as he understandably hated the country of his birth and Karl der Große/Charlemagne, as he was historically equally important for both, France and Germany).

Out of those 5 above I'd personally vote for J.S. Bach as the greatest one.



George Washington.

heh, name five famous belgians ;)

Only five?

Edgar P. Jacobs, Peyo, Jean-Michel Charlier, Jijé, Maurice de Bevere (better known as Morris), Eddy Paape, Victor Hubinon, Jacques Martin, Willy Vandersteen, Maurice Tillieux and of course my two favorite ones: André Franquin and the one and only Hergé. 

I love Belgian comics (as well as French ones). École Marcinelle! Ligne claire! Casterman!

Other famous Belgians I can think of: Georges Simenon, Hercule Poirot (yes, I know, the latter one is fictional).
