Answer 2

By "nobody" I assume you mean the common lay-person. Here are a few that come to mind: Nikola Tesla - 19th century physicist and electrical engineer, did ground breaking work in AC electricity and magnetism and help lay the foundation for which electricity sent in the US Leonhard Euler - 18th century mathematician, laid mathematical foundations for which nearly every engineering discipline relies on in one way or another. Hammurabi - Ancient Babylonian king whose legal code still has influence even to this day. Carl Friedrich Gauss - Late 18th early 19th century physicist and mathematician. His breakthroughs in math led to the equations that many modern calculation programs use today in the fields of probability, astronomy and electrical engineering. Antonio Santi Giuseppe Meucci - Invented the telephone at about the same time as Alexander Graham Bell, but Bell beat him to the patent office Michael Faraday - 19th century physicist and chemist. Discovered the link between electricity and magnetism, his law is what is used to generate electricity all over the world. Wilhelm Leibniz - Discovered Calculus at about the same time as Newton, although Leibniz's notations and language are used over Newton's notations in math (Newton's notations still remain in science but not his language for calculus). Rene Descartes - 17th century philosopher and scientist. Laid out a method of acquiring knowledge that was a precursor to the scientific method and was on the forefront of the Scientific Revolution.

Answer 3

Canadian doctor Norman Bethune. While he is not exactly a "nobody" few (within and outside Canada) know about his tremendous contributions to blood type research and transfusions, mobile medical units for war and innovation in the field of surgical tools used in chest operations (he had tuberculosis and operated on many TB patients). He was also an ardent Communist and fought in Spain against Franco's fascists and in China, along side Mao's guerrilla forces. He is still revered in China today as great supporter of their revolution.

Answer 4

English mariner named William Adams, English navigator who help the British to finding a route to Japan. Acted as an adviser to shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (surnames always come first in Japan) and probably the first westerner to master the Japanese language. I always like him because he literally traveled to the ends of the known world and started relations between two different societies that didn't necessarily end in violent subjugation by the British Empire.

Answer 6

JULY 23rd

On this day in history in 1637, Jenny Geddes threw a stool at a preacher and brought about a civil war.
This extraordinary turn of events had its roots in the Reformation. In England, the change to Protestantism had started slowly, gone into reverse, returned to its course but remained a vague compromise. The Church of England had, and indeed still has, Lutheran doctrine with the administrative structure of Catholicism, with bishops and the monarch at the head. In Scotland, the change had been sudden, irreversible and complete.

Charles I of England and of Scotland wished to bring his two kingdoms closer together. Without bothering to consult Parliament or his ministers, as was his habit, he created a new Booke of Common Prayer, to be used for all worship in Scotland. The book was strikingly similar to the English prayer book and, to the Presbyterian mind, uncannily similar to the Mass. It included priests’ vestments, altar cloths, alter rails and the provision for the faithful to kneel during the distribution of Holy Communion. This could be interpreted as blasphemy and in the latter case idolatry.

There was wide opposition to the new form of service but the king insisted that it went ahead. At the first service in St Giles Cathedral, Edinburgh, the dean proceeded to read the Collect, part of the new service. A member of the congregation, Jenny Geddes, was so outraged that she picked up her cuttie-stool and flung it at the preacher with the immortal words “Deil colic the wame o’ ye, fause thief. Daur ye say Mass in my lug”. This can be translated as “May the Devil cause your bowels to bring into being an abundance of farting, you lying thief, Sir. How dare you have the effrontery to say the Mass in my hearing?”

This gesture precipitated a riot among the worshippers. Furniture was thrown about, punches were thrown and one unfortunate gentleman was knocked unconscious by a blow to the head with the bible. The Provost called out the City Guard who ejected the rioters who nevertheless continued to hammer at the doors and ‘peeble with stanes’ (throw stones) in the traditional Edinburgh manner.

The rioting spread to other parts of the city and to other cities. Protesters rejected the new service and the idea of bishops and all the king’s ideas and signed the National Covenant, taking the city of Aberdeen in defiance. Charles retaliated with an army of suppression financed by English taxes. The led to an English revolt which Charles had to suppress with a Scottish army, which led to a mass revolt in England and the start of the Civil War.

This just shows what can happen when you do something silly without thinking. A hundred years later, Robert Burns was so amused, when he read about this incident, that he named his mare ‘Jenny Geddes’.

Answer 7

have you ever been vaccinated, for anything? Chances are, that shot was patented by Maurice Hilleman, who created hundreds of vaccinations. I wrote my MIT entrance essay last year on him, and i hadn't heard of him except that i red on MSNBC (when he died on April 11th, 2005), that wasn't granted a memorial service by the NSF.
Hilleman orignated from a humble background: he barely afforded college and his research funds were meager. Hilleman was also perserverant; he attempted over 400 times vefore creating the meningitis vaccine. He didn't win teh nobel prize, he didn't get much recognition. poor guy. but he saved hundreds?
