I confess I didn't have the patience to spend much time on this, but in case
you do..
The picture contains a whole bunch of famous people, can you identify all of them. Click on the pic.
Maybe we can do this as a group task, start commenting with all those you identify.
Person who can identify the most gets a prize of a guest post on this blog.

Man in middle of picture, bottom row is the scientist in the movie back to the future - I dont know his name. Couple of places to his left, is the hit man in the bond movie, from Russia with Rogaine. To his left, wearing gloves and looking generally fierce is Art Garfunkel who also wrote a song about himself called the boxer. The dude with the accordian, behind the scientist from the back to the future movie, is the artist formerly known as accordian player. These days he just goes by the name accordian or some times just playa. To his right, with arms spread across is Malcolm Young the band leader of the group ACDC, who was crucified in seating position and with his back prominently visible to future fans. Diametrically in from of Malcom Young is the famous Rock and Roll singer, Pithukuli Murugadas. In front of Pithukuli, is an old dude with a flowing beard. This is Gillette the inventor of the razor. His work later led to the origin of new species - the well shaven man. A couple of places to the left of Gilette is the esteemed lady of English royal heritage - miss Pamela Anderson. It is said that she almost single handedly put Playboy magazine out of press by threatening to pose nude. A couple places left of Ms. Andersons is Ben Kingsley, looking studious as as if preparing for an Oscar winning role.
At the top left, seated on a chair with a funny wig is Steve Jobs. It is said that an apple fell on his head and that lead him to create Apple computers. To Jobs left is the blood thirsty tyrant, Dick Cheney dressed up in Mongolian clothing for a halloween party. In front of Cheney, is of course, the barber who was played so well by Charlie Chaplin in the movie the Great Dictator. Behind Cheney, to the left, and with his left arm pointed left is John Galt. He is the answer to the question "Who is John Galt". When people used to ask him "Who is John Galt" he used to often respond saying "It is me." But later, he got scolded by his grammar teacher and learnt to say "It is I".
Arvind
Cat Macaw Iguana Starfish Goose Eagle
Buzzard Hawk Sheep Sheep Dog Cat Sparrow Bull Camel Horse Horse
Groucho Marx ! I knew I'd seen this guy but wasn't able to place him immediately.
Hercule Poirot in front of Pavarotti
I'm pretty sure one of the ladies is Maggie Thatcher
The boxer dude can be called Mike Tyson for now, unless someone has a better idea.
The moustachioed hatted guy at the table on the left is probably Mark Twain. The guy beside him looks familiar but I'm not getting it.
Lord Nelson on one of the horses?
Lenin next to Castro ?
Interpreting Arvind's smartassness: the only new ones that he brought out were: Newton (I'm not sure), Genghis Khan, and Karl Marx.
So updating the list:
Adolf Hitler,
Albert Einstein,
Abraham Lincoln,
Bruce Lee,
Bill Clinton,
Che Guevara,
Charlie Chaplin,
Fidel Castro,
George Bush,
Genghis Khan
Groucho Marx
Hercule Poirot
Isaac Newton
Julius Caesar??,
Kofi Annan,
Karl Marx
Lord Nelson
Lenin
Mike Tyson
Maggie Thatcher
Mark Twain
Mahatma Gandhi,
Mother Teresa,
Michael Johnson,

(36) out of about 120. Come on people !
Terrible that you didnt give me credit for Pithukuli Murugadoss playing the guitar.
I forgot to add that the Chinese looking dude in the Kung Fu pose is the same guy in Oceans 11 who could contort himself to fit inside any box including Al Gores lock box.
The galilaean dude on right corner with the telescope in hand is the dude who invented the telescope mr. scope. He is a bit of a pervert as he is using the scope to look at Ms Anderson (identified earlier to be at the table.) His creepish behaviour led him to later be called Mr. Scope Creep.
Although a bit challenging, I could identify the people in the white clothed parade below the pyramids. With some skill one can identify among them (a) King Ashoka ( b ) Al Yankovich and ( c ) The Rasna dude who drank up the whole jug.
Below and to right of Steve Jobs (identified earlier, on the chair and with the funny wig), is the famous Gaul, Vitalstatistix. Like all chiefs of Gaul he was a bit pompous and generally self important and utterly irrelevant except for the odd book or two about his life - such as the day of the Jackal.
