I was talking to one of the programmers today and somehow we started talking about BitTorrent and downloading and etc. He mentioned that he was all about Bob Ross (the mellow guy with the fro and the beard who was always painting cool shit on PBS) and was trying to find and download every episode.
Co-worker pops up and mentions how Ross was apparently a very decorated sniper in Vietnam and had something like 27 confirmed kills (I could probably have Google confirm this but I'm too lazy).
So it would seem that the chill, relaxing, laid back guy on PBS who knew how to paint a forest like no one else could do it because he spent a chunk of time looking at forests through a scope. Anyone else surprised?
