If you're gonna win something, it might as well be a landslide...

1) On November 4, 2008 Barack Obama won the American presidency with 349 electoral college votes to John McCain’s 163, despite being a black man with an “ethnic”-sounding name, raised by a single mother.

2) In 2003 Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King wins eleven Academy Awards for Best Picture, Directing, Screenplay Adaptation, Original Score, Song, Visual Effects, Art Direction, Costuming, Make-up, Sound Mixing, and Film Editing. It takes almost as much time reading off the awards as it does watching the 250 minute film.

3) The San Francisco 49ers trounced the Denver Broncos 55 to 10 in Super Bowl XXIV, and the Broncos returned to Boulder with their tails between their legs.

4) Less than one year after graduating from the University of Michigan, Michael Phelps has won the most Olympic gold medals (14) out of any Olympian.

5) Legendary music producer Rick Rubin won the most Grammy Awards by a single producer in one night in 2007, when he won Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best Country Album, Best Rock Album, and Producer of the Year (Non Classical.) Genius.
