I'm currently writing a (rather small) text adventure that plays out in the monastery.

I don't want to give you the story yet, it's gonna be a surprise (a good one, i hope).

The adventure is a bit tongue-in-cheek and i still need a few famous real or fictional Monastery characters to liven up the scenes. One real person is already included in a major role (no, i wont tell who). Also, i got the reaper and the vote fairy.

So, any contenders? What i'm searching for:

For any such person i'd like a short reasoning or link to one or more articles that made them (in)famous ;-)

Also welcome are links to any famous and "special" posts here in PerlMonks. I'm on the lookout for more insider jokes and such.

Update 2012-07-02: This will take a little longer than planned. During a slight disagreement with my bicycle (which i lost), i broke my left forearm near the elbow. I might be able to release a small preview of the adventure in a couple of weeks, but i can't promise anything, except that the project is still alive.
