Bernardo Provenzano - Winner of Life

Bernardo Provenzano - BustedYes. He may be responsible for over 500 murders, but come on, how could you not think this guy rules!? If you haven’t heard, he was recently busted by Italian authorities, and was the most wanted man in Italy for over 42 years. This was the guy. The Godfather, The Don, The mob boss of it all. He was literally the Godfather of the Corleone family, so to speak. During his rise to the boss of all bosses, he became known as the tractor, because of the way he mows people down. Hey, I’m sure they deserved it. I can’t imagine the godfather taking down innocent children or something because he felt like it. He killed traitors, informants, and opposing family members trying to steal loot or uncover confidential information regarding the family’s business. Winner of life, plain and simple.

Real Life Simpsons Intro

Some people went to a lot of effort to create this. I always thought that a real life Simpsons would be really really bad and couldn’t possibly live up to the cartoon. However, this intro was done really well and I could see how it might work.

I can totally see a few years down the line or maybe if the cartoon ever calls it quits a few years after that they come out with a movie similar to what the Flintstones movie was to the cartoon. Remember, that piece of tripe starring John Goodman and Rosie O’Donnell.

It really is surreal how close this is to the cartoon. I think it would be sweet if they did a whole episode, or maybe even just a chunk of one. I wonder how this works with copyright laws. They must be breaking at least a dozen, just for using the intro sound track alone. Oh well, it’s an interesting find either way.

So to the people who created this, I dub thee winners of life.

Stanislav Petrov: Winner of Life

Some people just do something so freakin nuts in their life that they truely deserve the title Winner of Life. This Petrov guy really takes the cake.

Stanislav Petrov

Stanislav Evgrafovich Petrov (Russian: Станислав Евграфович Петров) (born c. 1939) is a retired Russian Army colonel who, on September 26, 1983, averted a potential nuclear war by refusing to accept that the United States had launched missiles against the USSR, despite the indications given by his computerized early warning systems. The Soviet computer reports were later shown to have been in error, and Petrov is credited with preventing World War III and the devastation of much of the Earth by nuclear weapons. Because of military secrecy and international policy, Petrov’s actions were kept secret until 1998.

This incident is one of dozens of high-risk decisions that were made by strategic nuclear forces over the years of the Cold War, often at the last minute, by administrative personnel far from the chain of command. It only became known much later due to military secrecy. The US certainly experienced similar events, and the USSR may have experienced others that remain unknown to this day.
