Oh, and I guess the least-known person I know is Gheorghe Muresan
I think this was my least-known-known also (and the only one on the list I've met; the DH issued his visa to come to the States in the early 90s)
Bester: Mal. Whaddya need two mechanics for? Mal: I really don't.

Silence means security silence means approval
My favorite Flanderian moment was probably the computer game that Todd and Rodd were allowed to play where you shot people to convert them. If you only winged them, then they were Episcopalian.
Nope, Unitarian, aka The Only Denomination They Actively Pile On.
Bart: When I'm feeling low, you know what always cheers me up?
Todd: Is it love?
Rod: Kindness?
Bart: Ooh, tough room. Videogames! Whaddya got? [grabs a videogame off the shelf, and reads the title] "Billy Graham's Bible Blaster?"
Rod: Keep firing; convert the heathens!
[cut to a pixilated video screen. Heathens cross the street, as a Bible gun shoots the Holy Book at them. When a heathen gets hit, he turns into a conservatively dressed man with a halo]
[cut back to the boys]
Bart: Got him!
Rod: No, you just winged him and made him a Unitarian.
Todd: Look out, Bart! A gentle Baha'i!
[cut back to the video screen. A Baha'i, sitting cross-legged and wearing a turban, floats past. Bart zaps him, and turns him into another suit-wearing conservative]
[cut back to the boys]
Bart: All right! Full conversion! [puts his arms around Rod and Todd] Thanks guys, this really cheered me up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
People with weird names have the edge, in my head. I haven't heard much about Szasz, but I sure remember that I did at least once. And there's no way I'd remember who Mayim Bialik was if she were named Suzie Denton.

I was very sad that Christa McAuliffe got such a low recognition percentage.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I haven't heard much about Szasz
All I could think of was the bad guy from Batman.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
I was very sad that Christa McAuliffe got such a low recognition percentage.
Wasn't that surprising? Must be a generational thing--I was in elementary school for Challenger, so it was huge for me.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
