Many of these teeny-tiny Halls of Fame don't generate much attention. However, even a small, cheesy Hall of Fame can be a gold mine. For nearly 20 years, Michael Bohdan, an exterminator has been operating the Cockroach Hall of Fame and Museum — a glass case in the corner of his shop — and it has turned him into a minor celebrity, with appearances on CNN, Good Morning America, and Animal Planet.

Bohdan's Hall of Fame consists of preserved insects that are decorated to look like celebrities. They include Marilyn Monroach and Liberoche, a bejeweled critter perched before an itty-bitty grand piano

With 4,000 visitors a year, Bohdan probably sells more souvenir T-shirts than most exterminators.

Rose may still have a shot at the Gaming Hall of Fame in Las Vegas. Wayne Newton is already an inductee. But how can they admit Rose without first making a spot for Kenny Rogers?

You can probably find controversy in almost any hall of fame, even at Ohio's Accounting Hall of Fame, where they honor T. Coleman Andrews, the first head of the Internal Revenue Service, who later denounced income tax as a "devouring evil" that is "slowly but surely destroying the middle class."

Indeed, the Wolf Files checked out Halls of Fame throughout America, and found these stunning controversies: Not in the Black Hall of Fame: John Kerry

Just like Jackie Robinson, Bill Clinton broke the color barrier in 2002 to become the first white inductee of the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. In 1988, Clinton was famously dubbed "America's first black president" by Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison, and that fame seems to have caught Sen. John Kerry's eye.

"President Clinton was often known as the first black president," Kerry told the American Urban Radio Network earlier this month. "I wouldn't be upset if I could earn the right to be second."
