Remember Jose Luis Medrano who saved a total stranger's life in Argentina by pushing their van off some train tracks moments before a speeding train would have taken it out? He's got his own fan club on Facebook now. A commenter let us know that they're trying to drum up enough people to get him a gift. We also learned from an article linked on their page that the person Jose Luis saved was a seventeen year-old boy who was not a very experienced driver. "I will be thanking him till the day I die," the boy's father told the local press.

"I thought this would end at the tracks," he said, "but now there's all these TV stations and reporters." By the way, his family is so cute, we could eat them up!

    Dude is definitely a hero! Not to be mean but his gift should be a lifetime supply of plum juice based on how he seems to be normal weight except for stomach-wise :(
