Who are your heroes?
-
Excluding politics, sports and Albert Einstein, who are your biggest heroes? One of mine is the late, great Dr. Stephen Hawkings. Another, despite the fact that I don't actually care for iCrap products, is Steve Wozniak. Note: I would have said Winston Churchill but politicians are excluded.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Good question, for me it's Isaac Newton, Bob Dylan, and my 7th grade math teacher Mrs. Thyme.

No, that should be from the Easy Company, 101st Airbourne Division, IIRC. Ariete (and Folgore) companies are quite famous between people fond of Italian armed forces because they fought bravely and valiantly despite the terrible situation of the army and the desperate numerical inferiority they were in. Both of these companies got commendation from the Allies for the valor AND for the problems they caused, sometimes holding a position only with guts and grit until they were completely wiped out, buying precious time for the Axis forces (whebn they were our allies) to evacuate or reinforce. For many people they are a symbol of courage and determination, not linked to any political connotation (as it is for me, I don't have any nazi or fascist sympathy).

Is it? I must've watched HBO's Band of Brothers (whose story is centered around the 101st) at least half a dozen times, and I can't recollect anyone saying that in the series. Or maybe I've read it in Stephen Ambrose's book (on which the series is based).

Yeah, there was a high school biology teacher, Mrs. Macartney, who made my high school days tolerable. I even got a chance to thank her, and tell her how much she meant to a bunch of us, before she succumbed to breast cancer last year.

That is awesome! I'm sure that lifted her spirits! :thumbsup: I not sure what happen to my teacher, but she gave me an appreciation of mathematics (up until that point I disliked it) that lead me to the career I now enjoy. :)
