Clocktower

My good friend Justin presented me and Griffin with a premise for a video series we should start working on. The premise:

Glenn, Justin, Griffin are forced to live in an abandoned clocktower, as it is the only real estate within their means. Unfortunately every week, a different historical figure shows up and ruins their lives.

I think the idea has great comic potential. And so, I give you a list of fifty historical figures who may come to ruin our lives:

1. Richard Nixon
2. James Watt
3. Francisco de Balboa
4. Eli Whitney
5. George Washington Carver
6. Thomas More
7. Kierkegaard
8. Cleopatra
9. Ferdinand Magellan
10. Carmen Miranda
11. Busby Berkeley
12. Che Guevara
13. Leonardo da Vinci
14. Lorenzo di Medici
15. Niccolo Macchiavelli
16. Oliver Cromwell
