I haven’t laughed this hard in quite a while!
Seriously, this stuff is really, really great. “Badass of the Week” [LINK] is a page that deals with, well, people that are badass. The author goes to great lengths explaining the various badass deeds of a wide variety of people. I’ll give you a taste:
About Thor Heyerdal [Wikipedia]
Then he published a scientific paper called, “Eat Shit, Motherfuckers: The True Story of How Thor Heyerdahl Made You Assholes Look Like a Bunch of Fucking Morons”, which stated that his adventure proved that it was in fact scientifically possible for the Incans to have settled in Polynesia.
About Rommel [Wikipedia]
But Rommel wasn’t just going to sit back like some fucking chumpburger and do lame shit like dig trenches and erect fortifications - he was going to go nutsack-to-the-wall and charge a force of over 700 tanks with his group of about 260 tanks and some Italian motorized infantrymen riding around on Vespa scooters eating canolis.
About Ahmad Shah Massoud [Wikipedia]
Without the proper equipment and supplies, the Russians weren’t nearly as effective as they could be, and Massoud’s guerilla warfare skillz were more 1337 than a mad hax0r invading a LAN party at the senior citizen’s center.
This is just a taste, there’s quite a collection of articles on lots of pretty badass people. Enjoy.
