Who are your most famous classmates?

Fame is not a simple thing to measure objectively, but the internet does provide a tool which is objective and quantitative, albeit imprecise. One must understand that the scores do not measure fame among the general population in America, but only fame among internet users, who are not representative of the whole group, and who are spread across the world.

There are some surprises here, at least to me. I thought Mike Critelli would be an easy winner, but Don Zientara is a true rock-'n'-roll legend!

How do these numbers compare to REAL fame? By the Schulman Method, Don and Mike are D-list celebrities. The A-list requires three million hits, the B-list five hundred thousand. High "Bs" like Roger Ebert and Star Trek's William Shatner each get about one and a half million hits. Low "As" like Paul McCartney and Fidel Castro get about 3 million. Hollywood superhunks Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise get 4.5 and 8.8 million respectively. Jesus Christ gets ten million, but the international champions like Britney Spears and Oprah get in the range of 25 million!
