Favorite Superhero Poll Results

My second poll has concluded. Thanks for all the votes! The late Evil Knievel has won. I, too, remember following his daredevil exploits in the early 1970s, and hearing about how much metal he got in his body from being patched together from all the bad crashes.

The Japanese guy who eats all the hot-dogs came in second. What an amazing super-power. I bet Homer Simpson can give this guy a run for his money eating Kwik-E Mart hot-dogs. It is easy to find out more about him by googling on
japanese guy hotdogs
His real name is Takeru Kobayashi.

Tying for third we have Myhr the cat-guy and Barack Obama. The Myhr illustration here is a from a book-cover painting of a real guy. Yes, a real guy. No links or pictures for Barack Obama: just go to your favorite news web site to find at least 6 stories about him.

Coming in last, we have Tom Brady, Jackie Chan, and Bindi Irwin. I guess nobody cares about the Superbowl this time around. I was disappointed that Jackie Chan did not come in higher: I thought he was so cool, at least until his stunts were digitally enhanced. And here's a picture of Bindi. I almost did put Steve Irwin in the list, but put in Bindi instead.
The new poll is up. It is about Oprah, and was inspired by a recent post by Mr Manuel.

If I had seen it, I prolly would have voted for Jackie Chan. I just love saying his name.

I am a huge Jackie Chan fan, but I voted for Evil because I think his stunts took a lot more courage.

Jackie has had his share of injuries and I think his skills are vastly superior, but the stunts he does are calculated as possible, if I miss I can get hurt. Evil's were possible, if I miss I could die.

Funny. Like I said replace Jackie Chan with Bruce Lee and I would have been all over it.

Evel was the man as I have said before. The hot dog dude is OK too, but he is not world champ anymore. (I watched the Nates 4th of July contest this past year)

Churlita: Sorry, I've not seen any Bruce Lee movies. I know... for shame. I was also reluctant to put dead guys in my list, also. Evel is so recently deceased that I decided to put him in.

Smil: Whatever you drink, when you drink it, make sure to say "IwlIj jachjaj" as the toast. It is Klingon for "until death parts us".
