This is pretty awesome, and looks like it probably was very tedious and exhausting to make:

When presented as humorously as it is on the blog Bangable Dudes in History, I would say “yes.”

Created in October of 2010, blogger “Megan” (she’s so mysterious!) creates pie charts segmenting the reasons for each post subject’s hotness. What’s better, she’s pretty fair, gender-wise: to wit, Megan’s write-up of “bangable dame” Juliette Gordon Low, founder of the Girl Scouts, and Megan’s promise that Bangable Dames will be a continuing series.

Did anyone else catch the amazing article on Slate last week about the US government’s poison-the-citizens initiative during prohibition? Apparently the US government was so angered by illegal booze consumption that officials ordered the poisoning of industrial alcohol. (Industrial alcohol was regularly stolen by bootleggers and resold as drinkable spirits.) The government believed this scare tactic would get people to give up the drink. Instead, the poisoning killed an estimated 10,000 people. Way to go, Uncle Sam. Any one else thankful to be living in a time where we can enjoy a cocktail without the government trying to kill us over it? I’ll toast to that.

And what shall we drink? How about a Poisoned Apple?

Just combine 1 oz rum with 1 oz Sour Apple Pucker. Top off with Sprite and serve over ice.
