Post Titled: Age old question
Die Welt Online had a little sidebar poll going today asking which research scientist readers would find most helpful for survival on a deserted island, and as of noon-ish here are the results:
Umfrage
Welcher Forscher hilft Ihnen beim Überleben auf einer einsamen Insel?

abstimmen Ergebnis
8% Albert Einstein
9% Jane Goodall
5% Sigmund Freud
47% Alexander von Humboldt
3% Marie Curie
9% Benjamin Franklin
12% Robert Koch
7% Antje-Katrin Kühnemann

I voted for Franklin, with a pause to consider Koch and Humboldt... but some of the others I know little or nothing about... but FRANKLIN, right, come on- hands down. Koch might be able to battle infection, but Franklin is just damn clever... "inventive"

On a similar note, congrats to die Welt for finally deciding to pull its head out of its own well-structured ass and start posing breaking news online first rather than waiting the next morning to print it. wow. brilliant.
