Come on guys. Surely we are looking for:"observably famous" - I can see they are famous by the number of references to them in say "The National Enquirer" or "People.""falsifiably famous" - I can ask my mother-in-law and if she hasn't heard of them, they are not famous."repeatably famous" - they've been in the "National Enquirer" or "People" more than once.Amazing discussion - I thought the word "scientist" was the one that was going to cause problems! Just goes to show: you never can tell on this forum.
