  • Man of the Century


    Being the Man of the Century isn't about being good looking, talented, or even helping society. It's about doing the things other people only joke about doing. If you manage to discover a few loopholes and piss off your neighbors in the process, well, that's just gravy.

    The Apostles
    This week's Man of the Century is no mere man, but in fact nine men. According to the Washington Post, these nine men attend Georgetown University, and wanted nothing more than to live together in a $2.4 million dollar house... with a pool... that one of their parents bought. Unfortunately, zoning laws dictate that only six unrelated residents are allowed to live in the house at once - unless they are in a religious community. So the boys went down to city hall, filed some paperwork, and founded a religion named after the man who bought the house - The Apostles of O'Neill.

    "This shameless proposal makes a mockery of the Zoning Ordinance (not to mention religion) and could have potentially devastating effect on the quality of life in our neighborhood," said one old fuddy-duddy who is obviously too old and should move away from a college town, according the Post.

    Thanks to everyone who sent in a picture. Of the 2,432 submissions we received, there can only be one best costume. And the nominees are...
