Ontarian1981 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) I would suggest Alan Turing, he helped saved millions of lives in WW2 with his work on breaking the German enigma code and also was relevant in the birth of the computer. Sadly, he was chemically castrated because of his homosexuality and committed suicide soon after. Edited January 31, 2019 by Ontarian1981 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flanker7 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Canute /Cnut - Poacher turned gamekeeper and brought in a period of prosperity. AND He didn't think he could turn the tide back. Royal creeps and sycophants needed to be calmed down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He initially came up as 'Judas is a riot', & that's what all the others said about him, yet he left the Last Supper early. Oh if only he'd been persuaded to stay for dessert & a game of Twister, things could have been so different.

If only Michaelangelo could have left out the two other Christs, the extra Apostles and the kangaroo from his " Last Supper " painting, we wouldn't be having this discussion.😏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
