Yeah, I really was surprised that parts of Marx were actually funny! He loves his subject and goes after it with great passion. Same thing with Adam Smith--I expected to hate Wealth of Nations, but it was brilliant. Making pins and selling linen should have been boring, but turned out to riviting.

But Groucho, he has a special place in my heart even more so. I voted according to which lit me up more when I thought of him.
