          DEATH STAR
Special Selection June 2009 This spherical moon size battle station produces the mother of all laser beams. The Death Star is capable of moving throughout the galaxy, destroying entire planets and spreading fear like a shadow of impending doom. 75 miles in diameter it has a surface like a metropolis full of detention blocks and interrogation cells. The death star is capable of housing a billion people and requires a million personnel to operate.

   RASPUTIN
Was Rasputin the greatest con man of the 20th century? or truly an 'almost' invincible mystic?

rasputin is too much of a creeper for me to vote for him and/or think he's awesome.
reply
The man was poisoned, shot, stabbed, had his penis removed (a fairly "sizable" operation, rumor has it), tied up in a bag, thrown into a river, and finally died from drowning. Creepy or not, That's pretty Awesome.
reply
Yeah, I have to say, even though he might have been a commie, he was probably the only awesome commie
reply
Rasputin was not a communist. He was a holy man, which would be forbidden under Communism (religion is, after all, the opiate of the masses.) Grigori Rasputin was the confidant and personal advisor to Tsarina Alexandra. Some say more. Rumors and hearsay account that he was a particularly debauched individual, and because of this, he may have helped lead into the October Revolution, when the Communists seized power. Shortly after Rasputin's assassination (a reportedly long, drawn-out affair), The Romanovs were killed, and the Communists took over.
the other side of the coin accounts that Rasputin was a mystic, a healer, and a pilgrim. A devout man of God.
reply
Oh, and Alan Rickman played Rasputin in the HBO bio-pic. Alan Rickman also played Hans Gruber in Die Hard.
Hence: Awesome.
reply
the way that he died is awesome (although really, really creepy) they way he lived his life and who he was..... not awesome. The third side of the coin (ha ha) accounts that he sold his soul to satan and played himself off as a holy man by preforming "miracles." (i am NOT citing that horrible disney movie, swear to god) He was like the wormtoungue of real life. a total creeper. seriously, look at a stillshot of him. his eyes make you want to kill something.
reply
I kind of find him sexy in some strange way. (I guess others did too.) Perhaps the fact that one peasant (a creeper of one)can take down an entire country with a little positive talking and love making, makes him awesome.
reply
The story of his death has no doubt been exaggerated, but as I recall, he died of hypothermia. As I recall, his body was found, frozen, crawling up the shore of the river. Or so the story goes.
reply
The official Secret Police file on Rasputin states that he died of drowning. They knew he was alive because he managed to free one of his arms from bondage and seemed to be crossing himself as he died. Popular theories now say that his cause of death was actually contrived by officials to keep Rasputin from being made into a saint by the Romanovs. Interestingly, when Prince Felix Yusupov and the Grand Duke Dmitri Pavlovich invited Rasputin into the basement where they would assassinate him, they put on a grammaphone cylinder, but the only cylinder they owned was "Yankee Doodle." I don't know what it means, but it's interesting.
reply
Rasputin kinda embodies the ideal of "will to power" - life handed him no advantages, yet he conned, bluffed, and weaseled his way to the highest halls of power in Tsarist Russia. Pretty darned awesome!
Plus, he looked grubby as all hell, yet the ladies lurved him. Musta been awesome at (ahem) something!
reply
Rasputin was legendary for his anatomical prowess.
reply
The Death Star could have destroyed the planet of the Jar Jar Binkses, but didn't.
reply
It should have...
reply
I know! That's an epic fail!
reply
Totally, epic epic fail
reply
I think the fact that a bunch of personafied catfish were able to take down that many droids and not get blown up only increases a giant laser's awesomeness.
reply
If it did, it would have been even more awesome.
reply
yea lets all vote for queen of the mist now
reply
You people are voting for something that is used to efficiently kill billions of innocent people at a time. Sure, it is fictional, but you are still voting for a fictional floating planetwide holocaust device. Think about it.
reply
Sorry, much like Yorky, I have to vote against religious fanatic terrorists like Luke Skywalker, so the Death Star has my vote.
reply
Your logic has won me over. A vote for the Death Star is a vote for peace, justice, law, order, and the American way. A vote for Che Guevara is a vote for Luke Skywalker, Osama bin Laden, and the families of the victims of 9/11 who don't support the Iraq War.
reply
This is suddenly the best political debate I have heard in 10 years
reply
I actually noticed that there are no legit Death Star pictures in this slideshow. It must be so awesome, everyone just know what that is.
