Better? There already are (and yes - I’m aware that this is an opinion). More famous? Doubtful.

^Are we sure this wasn't caused by Boru and his ironworks?

Now that we have a movie about Bruce Springsteen writing his songs, will we have a biopic about Ray Cyrus writing the song Achy Breaky Heart?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Not if there's any justice in the world, we won't.

My attorneys have advised me not to answer.

The Leo version of the Mona Lisa isn’t even the best portrait of Lisa del Giocondo. That one’s in the Prado.

I'm not sure if it's any better artistically. It's a more or less exact copy done by one of his students and it's just better preserved.
