Garthe Knight? He isn't even a Michael... People please..... It's Faraday by 96,485.3415 coulombs He is far more important than the Wright brothers, (won a race to be first, had they failed someone else would have done it within a year or two) who is far more important than Jordan or Jackson and lol Phelps. Phelps has held our attention for three months out of 8 years. Woo.
In terms of impact it's obviously Faraday. You can't put athletes and a scientist who actually helped society on the same level.
Voted for Jacko and in that moment when it was too late I saw Faraday being the last option. Pretty strange comparison to put two athletes, a singer and one of the most influential scientists of all-time together in a poll.
The summer wind...pow! Actually, you can't compare the Michaels above. They are great in their areas. Phelps in swimming (damn damn good), Jordan in our favorite sport, Jackson in music, etc. You just can't and shouldn't compare them. Nice try though I'll give you that.
what about Mike Bolton? <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GKlDBi0cyIA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
