Would have been 6, but I just watched Elf the other day. Thirsk & Carlsen were the 2 I hadn't heard of before.

Jacques Cousteau
George McGovern
Frdric Chopin
Florence Nightingale
Magnus Carlsen

I suspected Florence Griffith Joyner was sports but not sure. So that's kinda a half.
Also, I'm sticking with McGovern as a politician but I forgot his title.

@Smackems If you aren't already familiar with Jacques Cousteau, you should. He made a lot of documentaries, especially about marine biology and he was a pretty legendary person in that field of study years back. He's a fascinating man, has a lot of love for nature and animals, and I learned so much from him watching his programs growing up. Seems like it's right up your alley with your connection to that kind of stuff.

That's impressive, I do these every now and then, but I try to make it pretty difficult. I'd expect the average people would recognize from the people I post is around 4. By the poll, it looks like 3 so far.

Nice one, that's cool you knew so many.
