#3 Muammar Gaddafi was confronted by a Tuskegee airman in what can be considered a high noon stand off. The airman said that Gaddafi would have been dead before his gun could clear its holster, and Gaddafi knew it.

#10 Four weeks when we oughtta be happy:
"You crackas are actin' less crappy!"
Instead, it's the month
That "a nation confronth,"
And I'd trade ya the whole thing for Chappie...
