Benjamin Franklin. I'd place a huge wager with my favorite Republican that
Ben Franklin could spend 5 minutes with a iPod and figure it out, while
George Bush would poke his eye out with it.

No way. GWB knows what to do. Give it to one of his handlers and let
them figure out what he should do.

He would run screaming to Dick Cheney, all in a frenzy, bouncing it around
like a hot potato saying 'what is is, will it hurt me, help me Mr. Dick, I
don't know what to do' Cheney, would pat Bushie on the head and say,
Southern Sheriff style, 'now don't you worry none about this here thing, Mr.
Dick will take care of it for you'.... Cheney would then take it out on the
south lawn and ......shoot it.

Thomas Jefferson. He is credited for bringing pasta to the U.S. from his
trips abroad; what we commonly call macaroni & cheese in the U.S. he called
macaroni pie. He invented the lazy susan for serving condiments to guests
in the center of the table. That was most likely a political thing but I
have lazy susans for some of my spices... do you?

He created a new plough that would delve 3 inches deeper through hard sod
than the common plows of the day for tilling soil for vegetable gardens. He
is also credited with the common bronze sundials of the day in gardens for
telling time, although he was no stranger to timepieces and clocks. He was
a big fan of clocks.

Imitations of his original design of rotating bookstands may be purchased
via the Smithsonian catalog, should you care to look. Oh, and when I
visited Monticello as a girl I was most fascinated that he had a bed which
was set between two walls - he could step out of one side of the bed in the
morning and be in his office, or the other side and be in his bedroom.
Quite practical!

I don't care about iPods. I'm sure Thomas Jefferson would have figured one
out and wondered why the hell we need them.

Actually, I think he'd be a pretty interesting guy to talk to, even without
the comparison to the shmuck in the White House. Franklin's probably the
closest thing we had to a Renaissance man in that era.

Agreed. I believe there was far more to Mr Franklin than we were
taught in history classes at school in my youth.

Not only would Franklin have it figured out in five minutes, but he'd
probably have a few suggestion for improvements within 10. While
Thomas Jefferson was no slouch, Ben Franklin just astonishes me every
time I read or see something about the things he did and the stuff he
figured out without any apparent background. He basically invented
meteorolgy by describing how wind and weather are a function of high
and low pressure areas in the atmosphere. As far as I can tell, no
one else had even suggested such a thing before that. He *defined*
the concept of positive and negative and electrical current flow.
Yes, others had been working on electricity before, but he described
the process in a way that formed the basis for the next 200+ years
of electrical development, that's how fundamental a concept it is.

interesting pics, especially einstein
then there is Lido Iacocca, or Columbus

I somehow feel the egyptians were not very aware of their existence,
in a sense

they did enjoy life, and appareantly with long periods of peace and
introspection, their lives seemed devoid of some spirit? perhaps it
was the cruelty they did to slaves that turns me off. Their lack of
respect for human life.

While I agree that Franklin was a genius, he didn't work in a vacuum. He
corresponded with learned men of his day, and shared many ideas with them.

That makes him even smarter. We have a president who might want to consult
with more learned men, but doesn't.

Oh, absolutely, but he did seem to have a knack for seeing things
that the others hadn't quite put together yet. As one biographer
put it, he would appear to make guesses that almost always turned
out to be right. But, yes, he corresponded with many people and
other scientists and experimenters of his time. In fact, that is
how he figured out weather patterns by matching up storms experienced
by different correspondents in different locations and correlating
the times/dates. Apparently before that weather was thought to be
a mostly local phenomenon.
