Otto, the slacker bus driver.  "Yeah, sure, Flanders, choose the Almighty
Creator dude because he's so reeeeeal!  So how come if he's so creative and
so reeeeal, he didn't make the final poll for "The Person of the Century"?
   Unlike the  Bart Man,  maybe he's little too whimsical or inappropriate."

TIME's Person of the Century is that person who, for better or worse, most
influenced the course of history over the past 100 years.

The first phase of polling for the Person of the Century is over. We've
scrutinized the results so far, removing whimsical and inappropriate
entries. Here's the list in order of standing now, as we head into the
final summer of the century and the selection by the Editors of TIME late
next fall. Fill in your choice at the right and vote!
