William Clark

I dispute this. Lewis was cooler than Clark, which is why his name comes first. Also, Lewis has a woodpecker named after him, and Clark does not.

Clark overruled

Okay then, to end the debate, may I offer that Sacagawea is cooler than both of them

Hold your horses there, pardner! I think you're making too big of a jump. Sacagawea is way cooler than either Lewis or Clark. I say that you need to wait a while.

I offer up Ponce De Leon as an alternative.

Ernest Tubb

Wow, I knew ET was cool, Walkin' the Floor Over You is a really good song, among others, and there are plenty of songs about him. I just didn't know that this forum would think he's the coolest person ever!

I just had no idea who Ernest Tubb was. Having looked him up, I think he's a considerable step down from Cortés.

Which is saying a bit.

Anyway, I offer forth Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Cortes was a thief and an invader.

Doesn't that go for basically all of the explorers of that time.

I put forward Catherine II of Russia.

Which I'll follow up with Fidel Castro, but it might be too big of a jump (Took over an island with a radio and a small boatful of men, dictator, but mostly benevolent).

I don't know that Che is actually cooler, he's been retroactively made so, but his biography's pretty dark.

Emperor Norton I.

I challenge. He belongs much, much higher up than where you put him. Probably near the ultimate top of the list is where he should be.

Alright, Norton is retracted for now. I substitute Oscar Wilde.

Raving_Lunatic · **Reply #45 on:** March 27, 2009, 10:24:54 PM

heraldel, i'd argue coolness is about 50-50 between actual action and reputation. He's on tshirts everywhere and yet few people know who he is. His face has become a legend. He's cool.

Bdoomed · **Reply #46 on:** March 27, 2009, 10:25:29 PM

aw Oscar Wilde is DEFINATELY around the top!

Again I challenge. Wilde is around the same territory as Norton I.

How about King Kamehameha I?

Bdoomed · **Reply #49 on:** March 27, 2009, 11:49:34 PM

yeaaa but his name was then used in the Dragonball series and that is cool, so he gets a small boost of cool from that... but I won't challenge it.
