Ha, no votes for Nelson Mandela. That's what he gets for going against Newton.

Well, I don't think Nelson got consulted about agreeing to this match. But yeah, Isaac's kicking his butt pretty good. The thought that Hitler is actually making a better showing in his match against Jesus is downright surreal.

Well the thing is that Hitler actually did do something.
Mandela blew some things up and then sat around in prison for 20-odd years while people held concerts for him.
They also both wrote incredibly dull books, but at least Hitler's had some point to it.

(Lest you get the wrong impression, I do have more respect for Mandela that I do for several other people on the final list. But he's so outclassed in this match-up it isn't even funny.)
