Re: [Psisoft-devl] Too cool (in a geek way)

Sorry to keep sending emails, but I just found what I was looking
for... 


The most higly ranked individual in WikiPedia, that individual is,
by this measure, more important than any other individual in the whole
encyclopedia...

J. R. R. Tolkien

You should understand that entries such as 'US President' dont count as
individuals. He ranks 548 out of every single entry in Wikipedia, and
that means he beat a lot of stuff. 

Bill Clinton comes next (I think), but a long way down the list at number
656 out of the WikiPedia universe of things. oops... I missed Aristotle
(566), Adolf Hitler (569) and Jesus Christ (617).

I wonder where the first person you have never heard of ranks.

There are some really interesting things in this list. The most important
specific date ever is March 1st, then Febuary 11th, followed soon after by
July 1st!

The days of the week go like this...

320 Sunday
330 Friday
337 Monday 
338 Tuesday
351 Thursday
352 Saturday
359 Wednesday

The BBC is the highes ranking corperation (342), but comes after
Christianity (62), Islam (142), Buddhism (249), Hinduism (267) and Judaism
(327). But it beats Jesus Christ (617), but not the bible (215).

Jazz is the first non time related, non geographic, non academic, non
religious, non sporting human endevour to make the list (unless you count
film, tv and actor).

Sadly none of my own wiki pages are ranked in the top 1000, but protein
does pritty well (447)!

Microsoft (577) ranks just above Nazi Germany (578), Democracy (364) beats
Wikipedia (365), and the sun (378) beats the moon (390).
