Top 10 Coolest People
3|19|08

I decided to take a break from finals and make a list of the 10 coolest people ever!

10. Abraham Lincoln

The sixteenth President of the United States knew what it meant to have style.
Sporting a top hat and a full beard, Abraham was a pioneer of fashion from the log cabin to Gettysburg. Four scores and seven years ago, Abraham Lincoln worked it.

9. Boba Fett

Enough said.

8. Odysseus

Odysseus showed us all how the cunning man could overcome impossible obstacles. Remember the poke the cyclops in the eye idea? Genius! You see, the cyclops only had one eye. On top of all that, he mastered the art of seduction. The ladies loved him. Finally, and probably the most important note, he was played by Sean Bean in Troy.

7. Angelina Jolie

Angelina has proven herself to be an outstanding actress, philanthropist, and mother. Being a Goodwill Ambassador, Angelina has traveled the world promoting humanitarian awareness. She currently holds the world record for greatest variety of adopted children. Also, shes hot.

6. Jack Bauer

Jack Bauer was once #1 on this list, but has dropped one spot after each season of "24" following season 2. I have always wondered how they will kill off Jack Bauer. What kind of death is truly worthy? I concluded it will be in space. "Tell me where the bomb is or I will kill your son." - Jack Bauer

5. Daniel Day Lewis

Daniel embodies sex. He makes Johnny Depp look like a pimply, redheaded thirteen year old on the chess team. I can't possibly do justice to how cool this guy is. Daniel is very selective with his roles. To put things into perspective, Martin Scorsese had to ask Daniel Day Lewis to be in Gangs of New York. That movie was so-so. DDL is not so-so.

4. Leonardo Da Vinci

Being a scientist, inventor, musician, writer, philosopher, poet, sculptor, painter, engineer, mathematician, botanist, and architect, Leonardo da Vinci's college's application had almost as many extra-curriculars as Zack Morris'. Da Vinci was Da Shit.

3. Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee fathered mixed martial arts. Along with the inhuman physical feats that Lee could accomplish, it was his philosophy on fighting that set him apart. Lee's Jeet Kune Do emphasized fluidity; he often called it "the style of no style," as it freed fighters from the rigidness of traditional styles.

During the 1967 International Karate Championships in Long Beach, Lee demonstrated his "unstoppable punch" on world karate champion Vic Moore. Lee told Vic Moore he was going to throw a straight punch to his face, and all he had to do was block it. Lee took several steps back, and when Moore affirmed he was ready, Lee flew towards Moore, and stopped with his fist inches before impact. In eight attempts, Moore blocked zero punches.

2. God

Its no surprise that the creator of the universe is a pretty cool cat. There are many opposing persepectives of God, however, being omnipresent, God has the ability to fulfill all and none of these beliefs at the same. Chances are though, an understanding of the existence of God is so infinite that our empirical minds would burst. Now thats cool.

By definition, God is of perfect goodness; hence, God is very polite. I think politness is cool, and God possesses infinite politeness. God could probably beat you at poker as well as take up volume in eleven or more dimensions.

1. Spiderman

The coolest person ever, Spiderman. The thing that makes Spiderman such a dynamic super-hero is his weaknesses. The odds are usually stacked against Spidey. I thought the guy with the robotic octopus arms could beat the guy with the webbing glands. However, Spiderman's webbing is stickier than I imagined. Spiderman always finds a way to out-maneuver the bad guys. However, his greatest weapon is the power of guilt.

Most people aren't aware that Spiderman is actually a striving young photographer named Peter Parker. Peter's life revolves around the issue of responsibility. His uncle, Ben, was murdered due to Peter's indifference. As a result, Peter is frequently reminded that (you knew it was coming), "With great power, comes great responsibility."

In order to save the world, Peter must give up his own life. With a dash of sacrifice and a quarter ounce of Mary Jane, Spiderman man serves up a whopping plate of responsibility casserole!

 

Well, that concludes my list of the 10 coolest people. Honorable mention goes to Patrick Stewart, Fox Mulder, Harrison Ford, Fedor Emelianenko, and Morpheus. Leave a comment about what you think!
