The Malawi iron man? He's awesome.

Imagine the things he could have accomplished if he and all the people like him had Burlington, Ontario money, instead of "I had to make this out of scraps" money.

Edit: Bringing up Kamkwamba is pointing at a rags-to-riches story and pretending it's proof the game is fair.
