10. It was Ryan who was actually the first person to set foot on the moon. Who do you think took that photo of Neil Armstrong?
9. Sprinted across the beach at D-Day, scaled the cliffs without any special equipment, and killed 27 Nazis with his bare hands. He would have killed more if he hadn't stopped to perform emergency surgery on wounded American soldiers.
8. Wrote, directed, and starred in the movie Star Wars. That was him behind the Darth Vader mask.
7. Sculpted Mount Rushmore using only a butter knife and some sandpaper. Almost included Reagan but stopped himself realizing it would have created an anachronism.
6. Lobbied unsuccessfully to be included on the show Deadliest Catch, despite using only a row boat and a few chicken coops. Still caught more crab than anyone else.
5. Outran Paul Revere to warn the colonists about the approaching British.
4. It wasn't aliens who built the pyramids...it was Paul Ryan.
3. Only person to have won American Idol, Survivor, Big Brother, Celebrity Apprentice and Project Runway...and did it all in one season.
2. Won the Nobel Prize in Physics for coming up with the Unified Theory of Everything (sorry...that's in the year 2018, spoiler alert).
1. Made Ron Paul look absolutely sane.

Sarah Palin had a different version back in June 2011:
"We saw where Paul Revere hung out as a teenager, which was something new to learn. And you know, he who warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms, by ringing those bells and making sure, as he is riding his horse through town, to send those warning shots and bells, that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free. "
Course, I guess Ryan still coulda outrun him.
