Alright, I'll post Noop's pick, but anyone who wants to pick from that category will have to wait until he selects a country.

Izulde · 05-15-2009, 01:20 PM

Okay I'll post my own pick then after larry posts Noop's.

larrymcg421 · 05-15-2009, 01:23 PM

Noop picks:

7.5 Saladin, Army Chief, Egypt, Pre-20th

Danny · 05-15-2009, 01:25 PM

Good pick by Noop

Izulde · 05-15-2009, 01:25 PM

Hell of a pick by Noop there.

Izulde · 05-15-2009, 01:25 PM

7.6 Mt. Everest - Geographic Location - China - 20th Century

Even today, we consider a difficult task to be like climbing Mount Everest. The highest mountain in the world from sea level to summit, it has inspired and challenged people from all walks of life for decades, but it was not until 1953 that Sir Edmund Hilary and Tenzing Norgay finally attained the summit.

But Everest's challenge has not lessened even with this breakthrough. Every year, more and more people try for new records, either speed or status records in climbing Everest and it still remains arguably the most difficult climb to the summit in the world.

Truly a location worthy of being a nation's most prized geographic wonder.

Danny · 05-15-2009, 01:26 PM

Nice and with DT, NTN, myself and Galaril all being on frequently, we just need the CW to pick and we'll have a nice run going.

DaddyTorgo · 05-15-2009, 01:27 PM

Agree, very nice.

DaddyTorgo · 05-15-2009, 01:54 PM

let's not forget - Kissinger idolized him and wrote his dissertation on Metternich (things you didn't know that you learned from wikipedia are so informative). i was bip-bopping around to make sure I wasn't missing out on any other potential diplomats and so i read the entry on Metternich to prepare my "defense" of him

Danny · 05-15-2009, 01:57 PM

Didn't know much about him until just now, but looks like a good pick.

DaddyTorgo · 05-15-2009, 02:00 PM
