YOUR Man/Woman/Entity/Whatever of the Year!

[bhsup]

Okay, TIME magazine had their say, now you have yours. Who or what has impacted the world so greatly over the last year that they/it deserve to be immortalized? Good, Bad, Ugly, it doesn't matter. Impact is what matters.

Choose wisely. If you choose poorly, supernatural forces will melt your face off. And if you choose that idiot who says that there should only be one space after a period or colon, well, that's just too horrible to contemplate...

Spoiler bhsup's choice :

Yes, Mother Nature. She's been pretty devastating this year (and really all years, but hey we can't give it to her every year. She gave the Philippines a pretty severe 1-2 punch, among other nasties.

What a hard question!

I thought to myself 'What's been happening this year? I can't remember a thing.'

Here's a brief list, while I think about it.

edit: nope, not a lot at all.

How about people who've died this year?

Much along the lines of 2006, I would have really liked for this year's Person of the Year to be the general medical science body. This year has been incredible for medical science and it's going to get exponentially better from here on out, and having an issue dedicated to what has been achieved this year and what's coming next would have been awesome. No individual alive has had more impact on the world than the things being worked on today and that's pretty cool.

How about people who've died this year?

I think corpse is covered under "Man/Woman/Entity/Whatever" so sure!

 

[Borachio]

Hmm. But dying isn't generally considered much of a contribution.

Still, let me think. In view of the dire consequences for getting it wrong, I don't want to get it wrong.

 

[NovaKart]

It's miley!!!!!!!!

 

[Kyriakos]

Higgs would be a decent choice i suppose, although he already won the nobel and he wouldn't care anyway.

 

[Gucumatz]

I vote everyone alive this year, since they played some role in how this year turned out

Also, a small tribute to the recently departed VRWCAgent.

Doctor Who! (yes, all of them*, including John Hurt who I think of as Doctor 8.5... you would not believe the argument that's going on some places over whether or not they need to be renumbered... )

*but especially Tom Baker, who came back for the 50th anniversary special!
