To think this guy was one of the most terrifying people of his time, and he looks like Danny DiVitto.

I guess as far as warlords are concerned…. He’s in good company. Maybe someone should do a study on the correlation of bullying and plots of world domination…

It’s because he had short legs and the jokes had long legs. It was quite impossible to outrun when every 5 of his steps equaled 1 of the jokes steps.
