    Maybe his attempted uprising at Harper's Ferry would have worked if his people had 1911s. Probably not.

    You need to photoshop him into Charlton Heston parting the Dead Sea. This is too subtle for folks.

    I chuckled when I got it, but it took me a second.

    As Borepatch pointed out, the big ol' prophet beard of his later days is part and parcel of everyone's mental picture of John Brown.

    (Uh, those of us who have mental pictures of John Brown, that is. Kids these days would probably ask if you meant that dead black singer dude...)

I reserve the right to delete patently offensive comments. Or, really, any comment I feel like. Or I might leave a really juicy comment up for private ridicule. Also spammers.

You can always offend hippies in the comment section. Chances are, those will be held up as a proper example...
