Sea Monkeys aren't really for real, but it turns out that Count Dante was. Remember this guy? World's Deadliest Fighter that was willing to give kids the secret of Dim mak, the touch of death? His real name was John Keehan and he was a martial artist, had a pet lion, sold used cars, consecrated as a voodoo priest (by Michael Bertiaux!!!) and took part in dojo wars! DOJO WARS! Oh, and he was a hairdresser for Playboy Bunnies. Nineteen seventies Playboy Bunnies!
Filmmaker Floyd Webb has been putting a documentary together on Count Dante, preview it here:

The paper I work for did a big story on this guy in 2006.
