Default "Frank Kafka"
This is of course a very minor point, but one of the great artists in Civ IV
is a certain Frank Kafka. Unless this is the name of a jazz musician I
haven't heard of, it must be a rather funny typo for Franz Kafka, the famous
novelist who wrote "The Trial" and "The Castle". I hope the people at
Firaxis will find the time to correct the mistake in the patch.

Thats funny ! It must be a typo. I wish a small biog of the Great
People was included with the game. Just a bit of extra chrome to add to
the enjoyment... but interesting and educational too. I have started
googling those I don't know....
cheers Kiwi

Yes, I have looked up Rosalind Franklin and Sir Thomas Roe, as well as
reading the game's information about the Spiral Minaret and the Three Gorges
Dam.

Cheers

I found more than 33,000 google hits for "Frank Kafka", however - most of
them seem to be typos, however...
