    Very good Thomas Stearn, you got me there.

    I spent a little while at Fort Knox, and so everybody who goes there will probably go to his museum.

    Tanks, general, for the memories.

    The quote from the movie "Patton" had one wounded GI saying to another: "There goes old "Blood and Guts". The other soldier replies: "Yeah...his Guts, our Blood!"

    That looks like the lord of the id, the ego, and the super-ego Sigmund Freud.

    Was he once called the "Great White Hope"? My dad used to talk about him, and I think he was raised as a Mormon.

    I may be a little mixed up, but it looks like him.

    He could be one of his opponents, though.
