Gandhi
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him, a super callused fragil mystic hexed by halitosis.

I wonder how his stated love of non-violence would have worked against the Nazis or Islamists? I doubt that they would have been very impressed.

Ladyofmts, I am really sorry to say this but it bugs me just a little, Albert Einstein 1879-1955, was a German-born Physicist, that chose America above all. Could you please write it this way, as the way you have it written implies he learnt to be the Physicist in America.

Sorry you forgot the "chose America above all". I didn't want to detract from its inspiration towards America.
