It seems to me that to be considered a Virian Saint, all you
mentioned is good.

1. They should be dead, but I'm not opposed to living Saints other than
they may become psycho's after we select them.
2. They should have spent a lot of time examining and publishing works
related to mems, or thought processes.
3. They should be Atheists or Agnostics
4. They should be male (Just kidding, put that there for valerian - I
like to push butons!)
5. They should have overwhelming CoV support

What do you think?
