Robin "Bob" Burns (August 2, 1890 – February 2, 1956), born Robin Burn and nicknamed The Arkansas Traveler and The Arkansas Philosopher, was a popular American radio and film comedian during the 1930s and 1940s.

Born in Greenwood, Arkansas, Burns popularized the word bazooka which had wide usage during World War II as the name of a weapon and then as Topps Chewing Gum's Bazooka bubblegum. Burns actually did not coin the word although he is often credited as the originator of the word. It existed from at least 1918, for the same musical instrument that he is credited with inventing.

Burns's bazooka was not a weapon, though, but a rustic homemade novelty instrument fashioned from stove pipes and a whiskey funnel. World War II GIs nicknamed their handheld anti-tank rocket launchers after the physical similarity to Burns's instrument. Functioning like a crude trombone, the musical bazooka had a narrow range and less-than-dulcet tone, but this was intentional, since Burns used the instrument as a prop while telling his comic hillbilly stories and jokes.

His radio personality was that of a low-key, self-effacing, rustic bumpkin with a grabbag of amusing stories about "the kinfolks" back home in Van Buren, Arkansas. His character was patterned after Sanford Faulkner (1806-74), composer of the popular fiddle tune, "The Arkansas Traveler." Burns starred on Bing Crosby's Kraft Music Hall radio program, then had his own radio series -- The Arkansas Traveler (1941-43) and The Bob Burns Show (1943-49). He also performed in several movies. Burns died from kidney cancer in Encino, California at the age of 65.

On March 13, 2006 he rejoined Lynyrd Skynyrd for one performance as he played alongside Gary Rossington, Billy Powell, Ed King, Artimus Pyle and the Honketts for the first time in 30 years (with the exception of his performance in 1996 to promote "Freebird: The Movie") at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Robert Donald Burns (born April 5, 1968) is an American professional golfer who has played on the PGA Tour and the Nationwide Tour.

Burns was born in Mission Hills, California. Burns went to John F. Kennedy High school located in the San Fernando Valley. He attended college at Cal State Northridge and was a member of the golf team. He won All-American honors his junior year, and was the individual medalist at the 1990 NCAA Division II Championship. He turned pro in 1991 and joined the PGA Tour in 1994.

During Burns' first month on the PGA Tour, his home in Northridge, California was rocked by a massive earthquake. He ended his rookie season 101st on the money list but failed to qualify for the PGA Tour for 1995 by a single stroke, and spent the next two years on the Nationwide Tour. His career hit a low-point in 1997 when he failed to qualify for either tour. In 1998, his fortunes improved dramatically when he won two tournaments and finished first on the Nationwide Tour money list with $178,664 in earnings. He regained his PGA Tour card for the following season and continued to improve his game. In 2002, he won once and earned over a million dollars in a single season for the first time in his career. His career took another downturn, however, and he was back on the Nationwide Tour in 2005 after failing to qualify by a single shot.
