yeah, told all the journalists at the press conference they were dumb :)

which is quite right, most of the time

nice to see new girl asking such 'encyclopedic' questions, Aleksandra

edit: just thought about one should be on the list: Ludwig Fleck

Yep, but I'm not sure if we should promote our country through such controversial characters.... What the hell: Theodore Kaczynski alias the Unabomber, Leon Czolgosz - killer of president William McKinley, George Adamski - the first man who managed to take a photo of a UFO... and last but not least the horrible Wachowski brothers, or should I say a sister and a brother? :)) Of course those all are Americans, but still... :)

Are you talking about the one with the priests? Because all the actors in that advert were actually polish. :)

PS: Nice to see you again Ama. :))

lol I thought only one of the priest was Polish so that makes 3/4 famous Polish people then :)

Nice to see you too Mr M, how's the studying going?

Ohh come on, that's too obvious. Erich von Manstein (von Lewinski) - the co-author of the plan on invading Poland, France, etc... one of the most prominent commanders of Nazi Germany's armed forces. :)

Hehe... It's OK. Actually I should be studying right now, but I'm such a lazy sod. :))

And how are you? ß I’m really being interested. None of that British small talk nonsense. :P

His roots were definitely Polish. He came from a Germanized polish family, Lewinski... but just like Unabomber was American, he was German. Don't take my posts so seriously. :)

I admire the Polish actress Joanna Pacula. She is my definition of a real woman. She has personality, talent, gorgeous looks, along with a perfect physique!

A sincere thanks PF, for putting up with me FIVE terrific years, muah!
