Mystery Man

I asked a member of my family the other day if they knew who Bruce Lee was. The answer I got left me speechless - not because I was awed by their general knowledge or anything, but because I was laughing so much I was physically unable to speak.

According to them, Bruce Lee is infact Batman. The ledgendary caped superhero who drives a sweet car, might I add. I mean, cmon, if you owned the Batmobile, you're set for life.

Anyway, so Bruce Lee is Batman, and upon my laughing fit, they assumed it was the wrong answer and attempted to cover it up by getting the right one. This was an excellent plan, and would have been sheer brilliance, had they actually got the right answer...

So the next suggestion was that Bruce Lee was Batman's Butler (I'm being serious!). This guess was followed by even more laughter upon which this poor, unfortunate individual decided to dig an even deeper hole by saying:

"Oh no! Its that guy from the Sixth Sense isn't it!!!"

*Me slaps forehead and dies laughing* No dear, thats Bruce Willis..."Oh", came the sheepish reply. "Any other guesses?" I asked...

"Oh wait, wasn't he in Friends?!"

Cue me with a mental image of Bruce Lee appearing on the set of Friends. Oh how I roffled.

So for those of you who don't know, take note: Bruce Lee was a ledgendary martial arts expert and was famous in a couple of films which were popular outside of China. He was well known for his great strength, skill and speed, and also easily recognised for the amusing chicken noises he made when fighting...Check out the video clip of his "One Inch Punch" and if you can, the films "Way of the Dragon" and "Fist of Fury". Lee unfortunately died at an early age but is still considered to be one of the most influential people who brought martial arts into mainstream films. For more information see the Wikipedia page:
