This Just In: Robert Ballard Even More of a Badass Than Previously Thought

I find sunken ships for a living. What do you do?

For those of you who don't know, Dr. Robert Ballard is an oceanographer, underwater archaeologist, and general badass. He is famous for being the dude who discovered various sunken ships such as the Titantic, the Bismarck, JFK's PT-109, and others. He also used to train dolphins and whales for fun.

Recently, Ballard revealed that while searching for the Titantic, he was actually secretly working for the Navy in an attempt to locate the wreckage of sunken Cold War nuclear submarines. After he found the remains of the USS Thresher and USS Scorpion, he then proceeded to make the North Atlantic his bitch and find the Titantic in 12 days. No big deal.
