Johnny - Nah, we're talking blood ancestry here, not political borders

Mel - That name rings a bell, we discussed it on Pande didn't we? Can't remember!

There are many more names I could've mentioned since half of hungary seems to have emigrated to USA at some point in the last century and become famous playing baseball or something.

Kodály was the guy who invented the brilliant music teaching system do, reh, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do or whatever.

George Halas is apparently some famous NHL coach or manger in the USA or something

Papp Laszlo - boxer, won 3 olympic golds or something a while back

Egerszegi Krisztina - won loads of swimming olympic medals about 10 years ago.

Teller Ede a.k.a. Edward Teller - one of the lead Manhattan project scientists.

None of you guys heard of Rubik Erno? He invented the Rubik's cube.

Don't tell us such an obvious lie! Everyone knows that the Rubik's Cube was named after its inventor, Dr. Joseph Cube.

Yeah right, you must've had your head in the sand all your life. [img]tongue.gif[/img]
Guess people aren't clever enough to work out that surname comes first and that they normally see the names without all the special accents on the letters.
