8. P. T. Barnum comes to mind.

Six days after the resignation of President Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr and Hussein's accession to President of the Iraqi Republic, Regional Secretary of the party, and Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council on 16 July 1979, he organized a Ba'ath conference on 22 July in Al-Khuld Hall in Baghdad to carry out a campaign of arrests and executions that included Ba'athist comrades, who were accused of taking part in a pro-Syrian plot to overthrow Saddam.

When we had an inspection at our lab in El Segundo, where I was made to take down my Muppets "Pigs in Space" poster, there were a minimum 75 officers of Colonel and above. I fully expected when they turned on the computer and asked it to identify areas likely to be targets, that it would tag the current location.
