Only two real-life Americans have been given the nod to be officially memorialized as one of these things. One of them is Daniel Boone. Who's teh other and what the heck am I talking about?
This is the exactly the reason why the 'Quizzes & Puzzles' section was created. To keep **** questions like these out of the others and bumping valid Q out of the top 20.

Of all sad words of tongue or pen,
We're saddest when we sing,
To beard the lion in his den �
To set before the king.
Hark! from the tombs a doleful sound,
And phoebus gins arise;
All mimsy were the borogoves
To mansions in the skies.
