Probably the most known is the great Yunus Cengel that has written many
books for thermodynamics and heat transfer.He was a teacher in many great
universities and i think now he is retired.
Mytilene, eastern heaven of the Aegean
An old man by a seashore at the end of day, gazes the horizon with seawinds in his face
Tempest-tossed island, seasons all the same, anchorage unpainted and a ship without a name
Sea without a shore for the banished one unheard, he lightens the beacon light at the end of world
Showing the way lighting hope in their hearts, the ones on their travels homeward from afar
The albatross is flying, making him daydream, the time before he became one of the world`s unseen
Princess in the tower, children in the fields, life gave him it all: an island of the universe
Now his love`s a memory, a ghost in the fog, he sets the sails one last time saying farewell to the world
Anchor to the water, seabed far below, grass still in his feet and a smile beneath his brow
This is for long-forgotten
Light at the end of the world
Horizon crying
The tears he left behind so long ago
So long ago...
David Chokachi
OK dont shoot me 'Im grown up watching baywatch when my parent not around or going somewhere,LOL! watching baywatch such a problem for kid that days in Indonesia..
Turks only claim to fame is to celebrate a bunch of murderers and tyrants.
Their "glory" is death, destruction and barbarism.
Being that turks have no identity beyond that, it is evident why they are so proud of negativity and of such horrible acts and people. If they weren't proud of that, they'd have nothing at all. They are the only country and people in the entire world that celebrates that kind of negativity and criminality. Every other nation on Earth celebrates a characteristic about themselves that is positive. Not the turks.

"I'm a mutt. I have so much of everything in me, and half of it I don't even know. German on one side, Greek, Turkish and Welsh on the other. My mom is very olive-skinned; I get my blue eyes from my dad."
That's so cool. He didn't make it on the Greek list at all and he is the most famous Turk !!!
It doesn't say much for the rest of teh Turks on the list
Akbay was personally selected by Dr. Wernher von Braun, the famous Moon Rocket Scientist, to be the lead aerospace engineer for the F1 Engine Integration on the Apollo Saturn V-S1C Rocket. Mr. Akbay also spearheaded the Saturn 1B/H-1 Engine Integration for the Apollo-Soyuz Rendezvous Mission. Between 1963 and 1975, Akbay served in various managerial capacities during NASA’s Apollo, Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz projects.
His 31-year career at NASA earned him recognition as one of American’s early space pioneers. In Turkey, at the end of the 1960s, newspaper headlines heralded him as the "Turkish Villager Who Helped Put Man on the Moon."

metallic tork: non of them are real torks unless they ware turban and beat their wifes 5 times a day, just after they bent 5 times a day to smell the anus of the front guy in the daily praying.
Namik Ekin - Former Turkish Navy SAT Commando holds the current world records for longest underwater SCUBA swim and longest duration spent underwater with SCUBA gear. He broke these records while in his 60's!
Hulusi Behçet (Istanbul, February 20, 1889 - March 8, 1948), was a Turkish dermatologist and scientist. He described a disease of inflamed blood vessels in 1937, which is named after him as the Behçet's disease.
Sabiha Gökçen (March 22, 1913, Bursa—March 22, 2001, Ankara) was the first Turkish female aviator and the First Female Combat Pilot in the world. She was one of the eight adopted children of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. She was selected as the only female pilot for the poster of "The 20 Greatest Aviators in History" published by the United States Air Force in 1996.
Lagari Hasan Çelebi was an Ottoman Turk who was the first person to have made a successful manned rocket flight. This was the first known example of a powered aircraft.
No he wasnt Turkish, he was Greek right? I can't stand it when even with facts on the table you try to refute it due to your jelousy.
If that was the case then Sarkosy isn't Greek either. Malakosisisisisoslos.
