Happy April 21st

 So apa-logies for the absence....haven't been in the mood. And about the comic....I just did it and posted it on tumblr, but then realized I could make it the Sunday Comic, but by the time I realized it, someone reblogged it, so I wasn't going to delete it.

Today is a special day. No, nothing signifcant happened on this day. The most significant thing is probably Charlotte Brontë's birthday (she is the author of Jane Eyre). 

What is significant is the day that precedes it and the one that follows. The two main reasons for the significance of the other days: April 20th is Hitler's birthday and April 22nd is Lenin's.

I was going to do a post just about Hitler on his birthday, but I thought people might take it the wrong way. 

So Hitler (he turned 122 this year). Known to many (almost all Americans) as the most evil man to have ever lived. Some will disagree. Personally I view Stalin as more despicable, but there is some biased there, since Estonia was more oppressed by him than Adolf. Even as one of the most evil men in history, Hitler has become the subject of many a joke. Some are quite vicious., so I won't post them here in fear of insulting peoples.

Also, apparently Hitler is into the hippity-hoppity music. You think the SS stands for Schutzstaffel, but no; it stand for super smooth. A little known fact about the Führer, also dope on the mic.

He has also appeared in many movies. Recently, he was busy getting shot in the face repeatedly in Inglorious Basterds.

Another really good film with him is Der Untergang [The Downfall] (2004). It showed the final days of Hitler as Berlin was being shelled by the Allied forces. I don't really remember what was so great about the film about. All I know is that it's good. Very well acted, and very parodied.

Oh! If possible, check out Roald Dahl's short story about Hitler called "Genesis and Catastrophe" . It is great!

Well, so Hitler's birthday is on the 20th. Does that really make it an awesome cool epic day? By itself, not really. Close though. But with a little help, it can go over the top.

And help is recieved from-

Crispen Glover who you may remember from Back To The Future as Michael J. Fox's father.

And Andy Serkis who is the voice of Gollum.

Not the greatest actors, but cool enough. They have the "honor" of sharing their birthday with lil' ol' Adolph.

Oh, also. The Columbine massacre. Yap, that happaned on Hitler's 110th birthday. Aren't coincidences fascinating? 

So the 21st.

Highlight of the day is Lenin. I guess he is pretty evil, but I don't despise him as I do other such men. It's probably that he looks cool. 

Hitler and Stalin had "epic" mustaches, but a sirius lack of beards. So Lenin wins that battle with a moustache and a goatee type thingy. Win.

Also, with a name like Vladimir, which is basically влади мир (read vladi mir), which translates to "rule the world." So with a badass name like that, how could he be anything else than the father of the Soviet Union.

He just looks badass...somewhat like Satan, and has a badass name. So awesome in my book. Also, he didn't get around to doing that whole genocidal thing like the others. And probably because of that people (Americans) don't know what he really did, hence less jokes involving him.

Lenin is holding cat. Your argument is invalid.

Also, super badassness: He hasnt been buried. He was embalmed and now his corpse is just chillin in the Red Square in Moscow in some glass box or something. So when you end up going to Moscow never, go check it out.

So there better be support for Lenin on this day, to make it so the 21st doesn't become all about Hitler like always. Well, he does have very strong support indeed.

In the celebrity bin, the 21st has 

Jack Nicholson. One the greatest actors of all time. I really like him. I could go on and on, but I'll just leave at this:

Best psychopath evar!

Also, The joker

Also Ryan Stiles. One of the funniest guys around. Whose Line is basically back. YAY! OOOOH YEAH! 

So is there something on the scale of the Columbine massacre? Yes, I guess. There was some explosion in Mexico where 252 people were killed. But that isn;t something people really know. So I am going to ignore it. Instead, the destructiveness of this day is helped by another man.

None other than

::drumroll::

Julius Robert Oppenheimer, the father of the atom bomb!

So there you have it, so any awesome cool epic events in such close proximity. Why not celebrate/mourn April 21st?
