In your opinion, who is/was the greatest human being of all time?

[The Warden]

After copious amounts of study, I have now learned the complete life story of everyone who has ever existed and their effect on the world, and have concluded that the best person ever is: You.
That's right, it's you you glorious mother fucker.
And no, this isn't directed at everyone, I predicted you would poke your head in here, and read this.
Now you may be sitting there like "But Meester Wurden, how cum I'm da best? I ain't done nothin'!"
Well, you win because of your sheer awesomeness. You are the most Awesome Mother Fucker ever. In fact, feel free to walk outside and tell everyone that.
I'm naming my first born child after you, you fantastical god.

Hippocrates. He was the father of doctoring and medicine, the first to present rational theories to disease. They werent right, but they sparked off everything. Doctors still take the Hippocratic Oath.

I have to say, I feel honoured that you would say this about you. You's pretty badass.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi.

I'd say that it's a tie between, paradoxically enough, Jesus Christ and Douglas Adams.

Jesus should be obvious, he died for our sins and all that.

Douglas Adams, meanwhile, wrote works that had a major impact on my life and helped make me the delusional psychotic who quotes HG2G all the time person I am today.

Freddy. Mercury.

IMO Jesus Christ.
Died for all the sins of mankind out of compassion and forgiveness.

I do hope this is a joke.

Hey hey, let people believe what they want.

OT: My two favourites were already taken: Stephen Fry and Old Spice dude. I think we have to place both in a teleporter at the same time and truly make the world's most amazing man-man.

 

[Mavvy]

By greatest do you mean best political/religious leader, best philosopher?
Gotta be Alexander the Great, it's in his name.

 

[Engarde]

Montezuma! Good old Monty.
Who else has bots crafted in his image who still declare war on the puny humans after he has taken all their resources in hilariously stacked trades? Oh, and he does not need Iron like the puny rest-of-the-world!

 

[Darth_Dude]

lets not mention that he almost dabbled in a little child sacrifice later on

Wasn't that Abraham?

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Probably the old spice guy.
Haha, but in all seriousness, the old spice guy.

 

[GiantSpiderGoat]

Adolph Hitler, in my opinion.

He took a downtrodden nation, completely stripped of everything that could possibly sustain it...and turned it into a global super-power that could have easily held off the united might of several countries, by itself. American and British governments both agree that if Hitler hadn't have gone after Russia, he would have made the war last several more years, if not win it entirely.

Not to mention he was a flawed person, so all in all an ordinary man with an extraordinary ability to lead. If you look past the bad things he's done, you get a man who wasn't a Saint, he wasn't a Villain. He was just a man who had a dream, and sought to earn this dream in any way he possibly could.

I completely agree with you, but what about the Holocaust?

 

[V TheSystem V]

Everyone at Pixar Animations, just because Toy Story 3 affected me like no film ever has (it sounds sad, but that film seriously struck a chord with me, as the first one was the first film I ever saw in a cinema)

Kiefer Sutherland, whose real name is actually Jack Bauer. Kiefer Sutherland is his alias for when he isn't killing terrorists. It's for when he's still badass (except for his role in the Marmaduke film. If his character isn't awesome then he loses a man card)

John C McGinley, just for being Dr Cox.

Chuck Norris. Enough said.
