It's just the conclusion, and I'm going to need some help here. I've tried to identify all the people in the group drawing, and can't quite do it.

CARL SAGAN: Pale blue dot

1. The woman between Charles Darwin and Michael Jackson--is it Marie Curie? Florence Nightingale? Someone else? I don't know.

2. Between the Dalai Lama and Bruce Lee. . I THINK it's supposed to be Sir Isaac Newton, but he's got straight hair. Every drawing of Newton I've seen shows him with a curly wig or hair or whatever.

3. Extreme back right: Oscar Wilde? If it is, how did he get a ticket to this?

4. Front row, between Jesus Christ and Napoleon Bonaparte. . I have no idea, not even a guess.

5. Between William Shakespeare and Elvis, standing in front of Bob Marley. . I first thought Corazon Aquino but I don't think that's right. . dunno who that is.

Enjoy the cartoon and thanks for any help you have.

Helen fucking Keller. I should have figured that out, I'm an idiot.

3. No, Beethoven is standing in front of Abraham Lincoln and behind Julius Ceasar. Siddartha? Never even heard of that, I will wiki it.
Burma Lady? wat

Yes, this is a book everyone should read.

Oh man, I had guessed the Mongolian horde guy to be Atila the Hun. Genghis Khan figures more prominently in history (there's a good chance you're related to him), and I should have guessed that.

Also I never thought of Buddha as being young, but that also makes sense. When I think of Buddha I always picture the media's version of the middle aged fat guy with the nice smile.
