Seriously, I have no favorite historical person. There are a great many I like or respect, for instance the U.S.'s founding fathers, or John Locke, or Winston Churchill, or Thomas à Becket.
I am far more impressed with and inspired by those of good moral and ethical character, in particular those willing to defend their moral compass even at the cost of their own life.

Not bad for someone whose flight instructor said he was unremarkable and wouldn't amount to anything huh?
Seriously though, it wasn't his efficiency in combat that make him so unique but the almost superhuman way in which he went about living his life. For example, after losing his lower leg in battle he was told that he faced a six month stint in hospital and would never fly again. Six weeks later he had fashioned himself a prosthesis, checked himself out and pitched up at his airfield asking for a plane to fly.
After the war he went on to complete some 1st ascents (mountaineering), and competed in the Olympics (Skiiing) against able bodied competitors. The list of feats is nearly endless. This man grabbed life by the balls and squeezed hard!
If i had even a fraction of the drive this man had i might have made something of my life

Sky News amongst others should be ashamed the amount of coverage they are giving to this junkie pop star who no doubt overdosed on drugs after the terrible events that have happened in Norway.
Amy Winehouse had it all, and has had numerous chances to come clean and get off drugs but choose otherwise therefore it's hard trying to have any sympathy for her to be brutally honest, sorry it has to be said.

Hey Jon.
How's Jersey treating you? Remember that time Snooki went woo and PLOP her ass on your boner and you thought you got herpes? Well, I've got some good news, and some bad news. Are you seated down. If you're not, please sit down. If you're seated, please make yourself comfortable. Not in that way, Jon.
Well, the good news, it's not herpes. I'm sure you're glad, right? The bad news is it's AIDS, so you're pretty much fvcked. I mean, you fvcked. Fvcked up, I mean. Not that I was watching you bang Snooki or anything, I'm sure any position would do, really. But the good news is that now you don't have to live that much longer with the humiliation of knowing that you banged Snooki. Which leads me to the final piece of bad news, since you were drunk that night. You banged Snooki.
Anyhows, I'll be chillin' in Malaysia 'til your wife says it's ok to come back to Jersey. She's loving it here, by the way.

TO: Mr, Error, I Am.
SUBJECT: Inappropriate behaviour during lectures.
Mr. Error, I bid you good day, despite the fact that you have utterly ruined mine, as well as others' so far. True to your moniker, you have more than managed to personify the very deification your status as the anthropomorphic personification of all that is wrong and erroneous in your time here.
Firstly, Miss Hěi is of a slightly more... sensitive disposition. While her mental and physical disabilities does contribute to her almost clubbing you to death with her umbrella, your childishly immature action of teasing her name by calling out to anyone sitting beside her warrants such response and it is the faculty's opinion that that you deserved it. Calling someone with Down Syndrome "poker face" is also socially frowned upon.
As such, I must inform you that you are now the official Teaching Assistant in the classroom, until and unless your next shenanigan caused further uproar and humour in the faculty whereupon you will be further elevated in the Clown School.
Retards.

Subject: Demise of your partner.
Date: 19th october 2011
Mr 9493, it is with regret that I inform you that your partner Mr 9493, Volt has recently passed. However his life insurance merely covers accidental death and the U.S. Army does not extend DADT benefits retroactively. Accidental insurance could not be used to cover his procedures as he was last seen waving a machete and saying he was a samurai prior to dismembering his member. I quote, verbatim from the transcript that he was last heard yelling "Sakaiaikikikikikikiki" and that is seven kis which is two kis more than the company motto therefore also disqualifying him from the company insurance. However, I am able to offer you a stipend from the widowers' fund as long as you were able to furnish proper proof of matrimony, holy or not. Pictures of anal coitus is not sufficient proof of marriage or of civil union, merely of union, albeit from his face it seemed quite civil. Your adoption of his surname and insistence of it's usage is not evidence either.
As such, unless you furnish us with court admissible proof of civil union and/or marriage in fourteen (14) days from the date of this letter, we will close this file.
Thank you.
