           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.

        SIR ERNEST HENRY SHACKLETON
3rd Place May 09 Men wanted for hazardous journey, I think the ad that Shackleton put in the paper to recruit crew for his Endurance Journey is a major reason for his sucess. Any leader that can bring a group of men together and keep them together and survive what they endured is a hero. Summary of the two year Endurance Voyage: Polar Explorer, Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton has received hero status for his Endurance Voyage, (appropriately named.) He started the voyage in hopes to make a sea to sea traverse across Antarctica. However, his ship the Endurance became frozen in ice pack. Shackleton and his crew survived the extreme conditions on the Antarctic Ice shelf for 497 days (including 4 month of darkness). The long awaited melting and shifting of the ice did not free their ship...it shredded it to splinters. Marooned on the melting ice. Shackleton marched his men toward the open waters where they launched the life boats to reach Elephant Island. Once there, the crew set up camp where they lived on penguins and seals while Shackleton and 5 other men set out for help. They boarded the 23 foot James Caird and rowed it some 800 miles in icy waters for 19 days sustained by rations of hoosh. Miracoulsly they arrived on South Georgia Island, but the wrong side. Shackleton and two others decided to traverse the icy cliffs and fields of cravases, (PS, this is 1915...where the Wool sweaters were the technical gear) to reach the whaling outpost on the other side. Reaching the outpost Shackleton may have felt relieved to be alive...but he remained determined to rescue his men. This alone took three different attempts over 3 months. It is truly amazing that his entire crew survived, one of the most amazing journeys in the history of mankind.

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.
reply
Heroes are inherently awesome.
reply
Neil Peart is my hero.
reply
This guy is amazing, I think that him, Captain Kirk, and Chuck Norris should form a team of awesomeness.
reply
It would be the AAA-Team!
