I love extra days off of my landlubber job. Columbus day is a wonderful excuse to take off an extra day to celebrate adventurers who’ve dared to defy gravity and countries to explore and conquer new horizons. Brad Pitt- ala Achilles in Troy- could conquer this horizon anytime he wished.

Anyhoo…

Since most historical conquers were not HOT by any means, I’m making it up for today’s hotties blog.  So turn a blind eye if you must, but we’re going to pretend those men who were lacking in the looks department can be replaced by Hollywood’s rougher, prettier version.

So while there are quite a few conquerors throughout history, I say today we take the opportunity to give these men a fresh new face. Anyone wanna give it a shot? I’m think Gerard Butler makes number one as my favorite man to use as a historical conqueror. He’d make a kick ass Julius Caesar.  He’s just got that look.

And I’ll give Mr. Orlando Bloom the role of recasting Christopher Columbus.

And since tomorrow is a day where someone sailed into the sunset and founded a new world, I will concede to put up Capt’n Jack. He is a legend in his own right. This is a bit how I imagine him when he’s on the ship. He’s kinda hot like that.
