Who is the greatest world leader of all time?

This is a very subjective, purely based upon what you're trying to achieve. From a large-scale historical perspective, a good argument can be made towards the leadership of August Caesar. His leadership helped stabilize the fledgling Roman "Empire," and it blossomed under him.

A strong case can be made for Charlemagne as well with his contribution to the Frank people.

If you're talking from a revolutionary standpoint, Mao Tse Tung should be placed near the top of any list - his ability to unify agrarian China and revolutionize the way the country was ran can be considered remarkable.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt help rescue America from one of the darkest economic disasters in the post-industrial history of the world.

A couple others to think about, in no particular order...

Napoleon Bonaparte

Abraham Lincoln

Winston Churchill

Adolf Hitler (yes, I mention him in this list - it's all subjective, but his economic principles were sound. In fact, Volkswagon is still around today - and that was a work of Hitler!)

Lenin

Cleopatra

Genghis Khan

Richard I

Catherine the Great

Ho Chi Minh

Nelson Mandela

Julius Caesar

Alexander the Great

Cyrus

Peter the Great

Shi Huang Di (Unified China)

I did not mention religious leaders as a rule of thumb. Although they are powerful in their own right, they would not be considered a great "world leader" as they were founders of their respective religions and as such, religion is open to interpretation and will usually be dependant on the religion of the reader.

Another great leader is Adolf Hilter. Even though his intentions were evil he brought a country that was poor, weak, and owed money to the rest of the world into one of the most feared super powers that history has ever seen. Once this country reached its peak every other nation feared Germany. That is why Adolf Hitler was one of the greatest leaders of all time.

Was aesop married?

As Aesop was a slave and he lived prior to the time of Christ marriage would not have been allow the likes of him.

And while it is true he was a slave (but eventually freed), slaves weren't expressly forbidden to wed. Usually slaves were bred though, like livestock. And because Aesop is widely regarded to have been disfigured in some way and is often depicted as being ugly, misshapen or even as a dwarf, I find it unlikely that any man wouldn't have allowed his daughter to marry a man in his condition, even more so as a slave.

Who will feed the people in the world by 2050?

We grow a little more than 2 billion tonnes of grains and oilseeds each year, and eat about 65% of that as humans. We convert 30% to meat by feeding livestock (and 3-5% into fuel through ethanol production). To feed 9 billion human beings by 2050, a 35% increase or so, we will have to: a) grow something like 35% more food. Very importantly, we have to do so by being more productive on the cropland we have, rather than removing more natural habitat. Hard to see how we'll do this without more and better technology. or b) feed a lower proportion of our yearly grains and oilseeds production to animals, and eat it ourselves instead. This implies eating less meat. or c) avoid using too much of our food supply for fuel. It's currently not huge, but if its growth were to continue it could become so. The answer is probably all of the above. We grow a little more than 2 billion tonnes of grains and oilseeds each year, and eat about 65% of that as humans.

Who is the greatest qb of all time?

This is a question with out an answer. "Greatest" doesnt have a definition and the results will vary from opinion to opinion. Spoken of often in talks of the greatest QB of all time are usually a small group of players. In no specific order here is a list of what is believed to be the Best of the Best. Joe Monatana Dan Marino Johnny Unitas John Elway Brett Favre Tom Brady Peyton Manning As well as a few others. It becomes opinion since there is no clear definition of who is the best. Is it stats? Is it Championship rings? No one knows. So in the grand scheme of things this will go down as an mystery. (Unless Manning or Brady can win some more).
