Steve Jobs Ranked 16th Most Fascinating Person by Time/CNN

I love lists and CNN has plenty of them. Their latest? The Top 25 Most Fascinating People (of the last quarter century).  In their study they discovered that Steve Jobs (#16) is more interesting than Princess Diana (when did this become her actual name?) and Alan  Greenspan (only one of whom is dead, by the way) but less interesting than Pope John Paul II and Ayatollah Khomeini – both of whom are dead. Hmmm... I'm sensing a pattern here. Bill Gates is number 11, making him slightly more interesting than Margaret Thatcher.  Actually, is interesting really the same thing as fascinating? I suppose this isn't the place to discuss that, but feel free to ponder it on your own time.

The most fascinating person hasn't been unveiled yet. They want us to "Stay tuned as the No. 1 fascinating person from the last quarter-century is revealed in the days to come while CNN continues to celebrate its 25th anniversary." The suspense is killing me.
