It's not that I object to the project in theory. Goodness knows it's possible we'll wipe ourselves off the face of the Earth. But... the method for selecting humanity's greatest achievements via internet poll and linked to a not-very-well-selling MMO? Uh, only if you want to rename it "Humanity's most currently fashionable achievements according to the US teenage demographics". =_=
Seriously, much as I loved LOTR and know that HP has been all the hype the last few years, I really don't think they'd make the top 5 greatest books of all time. Also sucks that the greatest works of art, the greatest poets, and most influential person categories didn't have any works/people of Asian origin.
Gyah.
