“HOT PIECE OF ASSASSIN” of the day
Fritz Joubert Duquesne
Target: He snuck onto a boat that Lord Kitchener (a British Field Marshall) was sailing on, and destroyed it. I repeat: he DESTROYED a BOAT.
Jury’s Verdict: He was awarded an iron cross for his services.
Our Verdict: Okay, can we talk about this for a second: he was a soldier, a prisoner of war, a big game hunter, a journalist, a stockbroker, a saboteur, a spy, an adventurer, a war correspondent, he once escaped from prison using only an iron spoon, his codename was “The Black Panther,” he used to charm daughters of high-ranking officials into getting him information, and he was hunted regularly by the FBI. Seriously? No, really, seriously?

Target: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (unsucessful due to lack of height… he was only 5 feet tall). Ended up fatally wounding Chicago mayor Anton Cermak instead.
Jury’s Verdict: Guilty. Imprisoned and sentenced to death by electric chair in 1933.
Our Verdict: this Italian stallion gives New Meaning to “Old Sparky.”
