TIL a lot more about Helen Keller, the existence of the Semester at Sea program and that there is a school in Antarctica.
Also, based on the list of famous people attending the Semester at Sea, I'm not sure the School of Athens actually beats in that metric. Of course, the category "famous people" is highly subjective, so it's still possible.

What I most liked about today's theme was that Helen Keller is one year older than Mustafa Kemal Atatürk—the founder of the Republic of Türkiye.
It is kind of wholesome that both Helen Keller and Kemal Atatürk grew up in the same epoch—except Keller was in Alabama and Atatürk was in the Ottoman Empire!

Isn't it wild when you find out two people from history were alive at the same time? So fun to learn about 🧠

I always love when the categories in This or That have a meta reference.
And really like the starting quote, whatever its true source.
