    Ludwig Wittgenstein one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th century. His class mate for a time at secondary school was none other than Adolf Hitler. It is believed that the hatered between the two students was what caused hitler to become anti-simetic at a young age.
    Did he play a key role in causing WW2? probably not...

    But its still crazy that these 2 went to school together
    Image being their teacher... :|

    Hmmm. I was flabbergasted to read that 64.5% of statistics are made up on the spot.
