This is an interesting site I discovered. It's like an IMDB of people instead of movies. It's kinda like a cross between Everything2 and Who's Who.

NNDB is an intelligence aggregator that tracks the activities of people we have determined to be noteworthy, both living and dead. Superficially, it seems much like a "Who's Who" where a noted person's curriculum vitae is available (the usual information such as date of birth, a biography, and other essential facts.)
