Mariusz Pudzianowski has to be one of the most multi-talented men I have ever seen in my lifetime. He's one of the greatest strength athletes of all time, but he's also a great martial artist, a successful businessman and a gifted entertainer. This wholesome beast of a man just keeps on giving and I find his career and persona highly inspiring. I wish there were more good men like him in this world. If Tony Halme hadn't ruined himself with all the drugs and alcohol he could've been something like Mariusz.

Not just Robert, but also his two brothers Charles and Maxon. These people are utterly fascinating human beings, superbly smart and highly eccentric with incredible insight into their own psyche. Just listening to their thoughts on art and creativity expands my understanding of the subject matter more than most other artists ever could. Robert Crumb is also a great prolific comic book artist who made it big despite all the hardships in life.

Tom Platz is still remembered fondly for his great physique and especially the legendary quads that could still win some of the big shows anywhere and anytime. One thing casual fans don't necessarily know is that back in the day Tom Platz was a truly hardcore human being with some serious attitude and work ethics, the man was like Ronnie Coleman of the 1980's and it's a small miracle the man is still able to walk. I remember Arnold once writing in his book how he witnessed Tom doing his sick training routine and then hopping on his bike and going for a little marathon. The man was crazy, but awesome.

16.10. The title is somewhat misleading, because this is more about the practical side of history and archaeology more than, shall we say, fictitious portrayal of life in ancient times.

Nicolino Locche was quite a personality. As a boxer he wasn't a strong hitter and his punches were pretty basic stuff, he was also a chainsmoker who sucked the deathsticks even during the fights. Nicolino was one of the finest defensive boxers of all time, at his best he was nearly completely untouchable and he even won the world championship with his unique and highly entertaining style. The man really had physical comedy in his blood.

A hugely important figure in the modern cinema, Roger Corman made an art out of cheap schlock films and influenced generations of film makers all over the world. Corman also helped many prominent film makers like Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme and James Cameron get their start in the industry. In many ways I highly respect his ability to create something good and entertaining from just about anything by sheer will power and hard work alone.

Jack Dempsey was born into a poor family and lived his youth as a hobo doing whatever odd jobs he happened to find himself. After he began his career as a boxer he became something of a national hero and one of the biggest icons of his time. Even today he is considered something of an early model of a modern sportstar and fighter with hardcore attitude. During the Great Depression he lost all of his fortunes and ended up homeless again, but thanks to his reputation and sheer will he managed to climb back up even higher than before, this time as a businessman and all around king of boxing. Mike Tyson is a huge fan of Jack Dempsey.

10.10. I don't care what people say, I found this novel extremely boring, like really really really bad snorefest. It might just be the translation or cultural things, but I just didn't feel this one at all. Shit happens.

8.10. A near perfect academic introduction to the wonderful world of Assyriology. In case you're new to this stuff this book will probably exhaust and overwhelm you with all the details, but if you're a nerd like me and you already know these things inside and out, then you'll likely enjoy it and learn something new while reading it.
