I can't believe I got Alexander the Great right. I just chose the first Greek guy that came to mind, and he wasn't even Greek! He was Macedonian. I just figured I'd choose somebody from a long time ago as Olympias of Epirus is a super old sounding name.

The boy who stuck his finger in the dike? (I saw a movie about that once, except it wasn't a boy, and it wasn't a finger)
Rembrandt's the only other famous Dutch person I can think of.
