On our old host the last post was:

William Wallace - Leader of a Scotish uprise (which began in 1296) against the English rule in Scotland. He was finally caught and executed in a rather nasty way. He was somewhat brought back to people's mind through Mel Gibson's movie "Braveheart" (a movie that doesn't mind the historical facts too much though).

Konstantin von Jasheroff - Unknown to you he gave his voice to Littlefoot from I sixth movie onward (it's very difficult to find out about the German voice actors as most of the movies have the English closing credits, and internet sources on this are very sparse as well). His brother Mario did Spike in LBT 4.

Lu“s V·s de Cam?es - He wrote "Os Lus“adas" I think everybody as at least herd of them, they basically talk about the portuguese adventures trying to find the sea way to India through Africa...
