This was a very - erm - eclectic list. Not sure how they were measured as "smart" people.

The story about Aeschylus is most likely apocryphal, and is more of a joke about baldness than any reflection on his intelligence.

I did notice no women on the list...?

I wouldn't call most of those people "smart"... maybe talented at something but with a few exceptions most of them do not enter into the category of smart... (the 18 years old Pope? Attila?...)

Can you imagine being a soldier in Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I's army?

HRE Fred: Damn, I need a drink.

Knight 1: Wait, sir! You should take off...oh. OH!

Knight 2: Hey Bill, where's the king?

Knight 1: Um...(points to the water)

Knight 2: Huh? Oh...OH!

Knight 3: Hey guys, where's the king?

Knights 1&2: (points)

Knight 3: Well, now what do we do? This whole march through the desert was his idea.

Later...

Knight 43: Did you hear about the king? He jumped into the river and drowned!

Knight 44: What with the what now?
