Other islands also have legends of "little people". Ireland has leprechauns, Hawaii has menehunes, Madagascar has kalanoros. Maybe we should do some more digging in these places.
They don't all have "crazy" faces. The aye-aye is cute and the tube-nosed bat is cuter (IMHO). TyB says there's more to be said about the naked mole rat, and it's true. Google it if you're interested. For starters, they live in colonies and have a queen who is the only female that reproduces, just like ants and bees.
How about a list of rulers (not royalty) that were insane -- Kim Jong Il, Ahmedinejad, Idi Amin, Saddam Hussein, Hitler, Nixon, Stalin, Robert Mugabe, G W Bush -- Hey, I almost made the list right there!!
Religion is like a penis. It's OK to have one; it's OK to be proud of it. But you don't pull it out and wave it around in public, and you don't try to shove it down my throat.
As KDR said, Tesla and Edison. They not only had a technological disagreement (Tesla favored AC and Edison favored DC), but a personality clash. Tesla thought that Edison was a dirty-handed tinkerer, and Edison thought that Tesla was a starry-eyed dreamer (and they were both right). But if they ever could have joined forces -- WOW!!
