Slow news day, so I took the Which Action Hero Would You Be quiz which Alun mentioned (he came out as James Bond, although he's got Lara Croft and Indiana Jones in him too!) ... interesting cluster of stuff for me:
Not sure that description of Maximus is quite accurate ... I do like the 'fact' that the 'close second' stuff includes both Captain Jack Sparrow (from Pirates of the Caribbean) and Lara Croft ... it kind of works.
![]() | You scored as Maximus. After his family was murdered by the evil emperor Commodus, the great Roman general Maximus went into hiding to avoid Commodus's assassins. He became a gladiator, hoping to dominate the colosseum in order to one day get the chance of killing Commodus. Maximus is valiant, courageous, and dedicated. He wants nothing more than the chance to avenge his family, but his temper often gets the better of him.
