I don't have any particular argument with the selection of these individuals. However....: Question 6) his surname is spelled "Fleming", Flemming is apparently a table-tennis player; Question 7) spelling should be messenger; Question 11) I defy you to explain to me when Galileo insisted that the world was flat.

Most spellings I see of Muhammad's name have an "a" as the final vowel. I don't mind your accepting the "e" spelling, but please accept the "a" spelling as well.
