Was he really 100 years old? He lived WAY too long.

I can't imagine stealing all that money and then having the audacity to name a college after myself.

EDIT: 90 years old. Math fail.

Somehow I'm less insulted by him naming the school after him than I am Jerry Falwell calling his institution of higher learning "Liberty University".

I remember praying that he'd fail in the 'call me home' fundraiser. I'm sure he could have spun his way out of it after he survived (and probably already had a sermon prepared just in case), but it would have been fun to watch. God fucked up on that one--Roberts was practically daring Him.

I want your Top Ten Trues Stories, Rumors, Innuendos and Outright Lies. NOW.

I mean, can anything the guy has ever done approach Wiley Sanders' "Send the Food Back" incedent??
