Greatest Philosopher? Ever?

So one day mr. delegar was hanging out in London and he saw that guy from Monty Python -- I forget which one, I'm not up on my Monty Python figures, though I know I ought to be, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa, in any case, he goes up to the guy and says, I love your work, you're the funniest guy ever, and the guy says, Evah? In the history of the universe?

Which brings me to this post on Crooked Timber, from back in June, which I somehow missed the first time round, linked to a BBC site, voting for the Greatest Philosopher Evah, in the history of the Universe. Since it cheered me up, I thought I'd pass it on to you.

As with the World Magazine Christians, the comments are the best part -- but in a good way, this time.

Okay,
I went to the site and looked it over and agreed with almost all of the posts as to who was the best or near the best but I have to say the one who made me think the hardest and with the least amount of pain was Schultz, you know the charlie brown guy. I sure miss him.
