Hmph -- the Ugly Duckling and Loch Ness Monster are not "people."
(Also, I doubt that the Marlboro Man has been more influential than Santa Claus.)
I HAVE SERIOUS DOUBTS ABOUT THE RESEARCH METHODS BEHIND THIS SO-CALLED "LIST."
Wesley: All right. I'm going to let you all in on something you may have trouble comprehending. I assure you however-- Gunn: Vampires are real. Wesley: I was telling!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

They're arguing that the Marlboro Man led to many people dying of cancer.

The American Cowboy did exist, he's just gathered myths.

mr. flea sold my vintage 1995 mac 520 laptop the other week for $10. We found the receipt with it: $1469. Now that's depreciation!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
That's a weird list.
At first, I read "Dr. Frankenstein's Monster" as "Dr. Frankenstein's MOTHER," and I couldn't figure out why she was so important, and how I missed out on that influential bit of pop culture history.

It certainly is. I know it's arbitrary, but how the hell did Nora Helmer make the Top 25?

Thrive to spite them
Our first computer was an Apple IIe. Mom bought it beause Apple offered discounts to teachers. My brother had a fondness for Ultima and all the various sequels. I think I played that. One of my cousins had a different type of computer and had several Infocom games, including Hitchhiker's Guide.
I was never into trying to program computers, although I did learn stuff in school, I just don't remember it. I was really lame and spending an ungodly amount of money chatting on AOL before the flat rate. In fact I moved to a place without AOL the month before they went to a flat rate.
At some point I had PC with a weird 3D intro thing that looked like rooms in a house. I had to suffer through that because I coudl never figure out how to turn it off.
