What is "Carve My Rushmore?"

Few man-made sights inspire quite like Borglum's Mt. Rushmore in southwestern South Dakota. I'm not looking to inspire here. I'm looking for you to leave me your "Mt. Rushmore" lists. It really doesn't matter what the list is, and there are only a few rules:

1) Your list must only contain four items
2) It must be "family-friendly"
3) It must either be an original Rushmore or a Replymore--a reply to someone else's Rushmore. To clarify--you can't just say "that's a good Rushmore" or "that's a lame Rushmore" without posting your own Rushmore in reply.

So to recap: A Rushmore is your "Top Four" list of who or what would be engraved in granite if a mountain shrine to whatever topic you desire were to be created.
