Undid revision 1031962920 by SNUGGUMS (talk) These men are not selected arbitrarily. They are the men responsible for the intellectual foundation of the West. Do you disagree?

Undid revision 1031869231 by SNUGGUMS (talk)Hi Snuggums ... This table is the work of many people over many years. The point here is that Western civilization was intellectually constructed by bachelors.

The idea here is to make people aware that all of these men were bachelors.Tags: UndoReverted
