Physics news on Phys.org
Neither my eyesight nor my historical knowledge are even close to completing the task. I spotted
Chairman Mao, Hitler, Shirley Temple, Napoleon, Charlie Chaplin, Abe Lincoln, Yassir Arafat, Ghengis Khan, Fidel Castro, Chi Guevera, (Mozart?), possibly Aristotle, Snookums the camel, and of course Wolverine standing in front of the boat.
 
To add to the list...

Evander Hollyfield, Saddam Hussein, Elvis Presley, Albert Einstein, Bruce Lee

Looking for more.
 
The only one I got was Joe Camel.
 
Come, come, now. There are a LOT of instantly recognizable people in that image.
 
Lenin Putin Oppenheimer? Brando Karl Marx Nietsche? Picasso De Gaulle Shakespeare Ghandi van Gogh? Toulouse-Lautrec? Dali? Pavarotti Prince Charles Dante Stalin Bin Laden Chou-En_Lai (just ones not already said)

Actually, I got
Einstein
the first time around, but forgot to write it down. I also didn't notice the magnifier icon. That helped a lot, but only yielded on more that I recognize:
Elizabeth II
.
 
Isn't it Bin Laden at the back of the long line looking at the pyramids?

Is it Richard Dawkins, next to Charlie Chaplin?

Yes, in a way. That's Sidney Bin Laden, the little-known brother of the guy you have in mind.

Who's that small girl near Einstein? She's too small to be famous.

And this time I'm not going to override the autocensor which doesn't recognize that word.

edit: Apparently that glitch has been repaired.
