What a great idea! <br /><br />Okay, y'all know I'm a geek but I think Sir Isaac Newton was sexy! Strong cleft chin, long nose and all those <i>brains</i>! I do require brain power in my men, despite the fact that the hero of my WIP looks a lot like Dwayne Johnson. I'm sure Dwayne is a smart guy. Really,<br /><br />Newton, though, was raised by his grandmother (how cute is that?) and started getting his great ideas about physics while he was in college. Father of modern science, born in 1643 (on Christmas!) AND he lived to be 85. Good genes, good looking and smart. Sir Isaac Newton - a total package!Caren Cranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352366686017375279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815530646091177574.post-13107755398126955052010-02-25T21:49:18.860-05:002010-02-25T21:49:18.860-05:00Joan, THANK YOU!!!

Did you go to the writers museum in Edinburgh? I had a wonderful couple of hours there - really great displays on the lives of Walter Scott, R.L. Stephenson and Burns. I love that the Scottish national hero (or at least one of them - William Wallace and Robert the Bruce would probably vye for the honor)is a writer. How cool is that? <br /><br />Oh, sexy men in history! Lots and lots of them. I had a huge crush on Shelley when I was in my late teens. Become a bit jaded on him since (not quite the high romantic I was then!) but nonetheless he will always hold a special place in my heart. I think, however, I'm going to pick Admiral Cochrane who led an incredibly dashing life fighting Napoleon and then fighting for independence down in South America. Here's the Wikipedia entry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Cochrane,_10th_Earl_of_Dundonald He's the guy Hornblower was based on - all that dashing derring do!

Of course, since we're talking about historical figures, bathing becomes an issue with all of our hotties, I would imagine. So let's not think about that.<br /><br />Here you go, Susan.
