Here's one I find very interesting that I just learned the answer to today. In fact I didn't even know there was such a person. Who's the only person to have signed the charters of both the League of Nations and the United Nations, and the treaties that ended both World Wars?

[hint: he's not European.]

Should have looked him up JLM, you'd have won the prize, Smuts is indeed the man, born on the family farm in the Cape Colony to a traditional Afrikaner family in 1870.

Who holds the as far as I know the unofficial record for singing to audiences over their career -

9 figures is the number - Now figure that is live - quite a number is it not
