I think any list that only puts Oprah at #45 here is suspect.

EEeeexxxxxxxcellent! Note that I've once again managed to stay off the list - proves my stealth mode is superior to even that of the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

OTOH, the inventor of this forward thinking device isn't on the list either - inexplicable. The brilliance of a device that can be used in an emergency situation should have garnered her some instant power and position. I mean really - undefined emergency occurs, first thing you shout is "Emergency - whip off your bra"!

Hmmm...I didn't make it either.

Interesting that the Google founders are #5, not sure what that says.

 

[RonBoyd]

I notice that I not only failed to make the cut but I am not related to anyone on this list. Whatever will I do? Oh, woe is me.

 

[easysurfer]

I was surprised to see Putin at #3. Who said the cold war is over?

 

[BunsGettingFirm]

Hmmm...I didn't make it either.

What that says is that one of the Google founders and Tom Brady are doing slightly better than I am. I wonder if I can send them a note asking for donations based on fellow alumni status.

She explained that she came up with the idea in 1986 after the Chernobyl nuclear accident and wanted a safety product that was "simple, economical, and always on you."

Not necessarily....

 

[REWahoo]

I see the problem - she ignored the safety concerns of half the world's population. Why didn't she also invent the "jock-mask"?

....on second thought, never mind.

Tsk. must be too early - its a twofer REWahoo. Couples survive. Not something silly like wearing it as earwarmers. (and that's not to say that ever happens around here or nuttin)

Whew! Am I ever glad that you had second thoughts!

Sums it up for me...

I'm shocked, shocked, let me tell you, to see Silvio Berlusconi on the list. I mean, the guy has zero credibility. He is a misogynist, a well dressed, hair dyed penis in a limo.

I have actually met #23, Li Ka Shing. That's as close as I am ever going to get!

C'mon now Meadbh, don't hold back - what do you really think of Silvio?

 

[REWahoo]

He is a misogynist, a well dressed, hair dyed penis in a limo.

[-]Don't hold back Meadbh, tell us how you really feel about the guy. [/-]
[-]Great[/-] Grate minds...

Don't you mean Li Ka Ching?

 

[Moemg]

It is interesting that Hillary is way ahead of Bill on the list .
