For some reason I was surfing lgf, and came across this:
More than 15,000 people worldwide took part in the interactive Power Play game, in which players were invited to choose a team of 11 to run the world from a list of around 100 of the most powerful leaders, thinkers and other high-profile people on the planet.
The council of 11:
1 - Nelson Mandela2 - Bill Clinton3 - Dalai Lama4 - Noam Chomsky5 - Alan Greenspan6 - Bill Gates7 - Steve Jobs8 - Archbishop Desmond Tutu9 - Richard Branson10 - George Soros11 - Kofi Annan
Hm, not so sure about 2, 5, 6, 7, or 9, but I really like the sound of 4!

(lgf wasn't with me on this one.) More hilites:
Another outspoken American, Michael Moore, was 15th.
Other placings included Osama bin Laden, at 70th, and Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who was 49th.
[. . .]
US President George W Bush was placed 43, ranking below two of his fiercest adversaries on the world stage, Fidel Castro - 36th - and Hugo Chavez, 33rd.
