    According to a survey by Junior Achievement, 12-17 year olds thought Steve Jobs was more important than Oprah who, in turn, was just a bit cooler than Tony Hawk. What do kids know anyway?

    The respondents said that Steve was super because “he made the world a better place” as well as his “success in multiple fields.” TGDaily has the full list:

    Steve Jobs (35 percent)
    Oprah Winfrey (25 percent)
    Tony Hawk (16 percent)
    Mark Zuckerberg (10 percent)
    The Olsen twins (seven percent)
    Kimora Lee Simmons (four percent)

    The Olsen twins? Really?

    Also, Steve told me to tell you that the secret word is TURF.
