Re: #10...check out the dedication in ALitA. It's not me (of course), but that made for a very happy childhood nonetheless.
I love me some Shel Silvrstein, but I don't know who any of the other people you mentioned are.

Shanna - I Googled ALitA & got all kinds of bizarre unrelated stuff. What *is* it?
Genetic Mishap - hey, that's why I gave you links on all these people, so you can go reed up on 'em. Gotta educate the public, man.
Shorthand for "A Light in the Attic." Sorry.
With all the thousands of shining examples, teachers, leaders, prophets, and scholars that the Jewish nation has produced, I must say your list is quite pathetic.
