I'm somewhat surprised not to see Don Juan on that list. Of course, I'm surprised to see that King Arthur didn't exist!

I would venture to guess that he's on there due to things like Mozart's "Don Giovanni" and the Phantom's "Don Juan Triumphant", more then the actual legend.

Kermit the frog is #67.

[Dionysus]

Tyler Durden should've made the list.

No Holden Caufield from The Catcher in the Rye?

I'm surprised Mr. Rogers didn't make the list.

That's because Mr. Rogers truly lived!

What? I've seen him in both Monty Pyton and Spamalot! He must have existed!

Eric Idle would never lie to us.

Maybe I read your post wrong, but Don Juan is on there. He is number 40:

40. Don Juan: That Don Juan is no Casanova; the Don, after all, was not Italian. But whether or not he was Spanish or Portugese, he still stands for roguish conquest and male wish fulfillment.


I too was surprised not to see Betty Crocker on there, like someone else said. And the tooth fairy, where was she? Though I guess maybe she isn't all that influential...
