8. Super Endurance – Dean Karnazes
There’s endurance, and then there’s Dean Karnazes’ endurance. Dean’s science team and the people who have tested him claim that if kept fed and well-hydrated, Dean could literally keep running at about 7-10MPH until he died of old age! In other words, Dean’s endurance levels are so high and recharge so quickly that he doesn’t ever have to stop running.
Some of Dean Karnazes’ extraordinary accomplishments include running on a treadmill for 80 hours non-stop (350 miles) and running 50 marathons across 50 states in 50 consecutive days.
9. Stomach of Steel – Michael Lotito
On the list of things you should never ever try at home, replicating Michael Lotito’s appetite for indigestible objects should be right at the top. The French entertainer is known for consuming objects made of metal, glass, rubber, and plastic and doesn’t seem to have any serious intestinal or digestive difficulties afterwards. His greatest feat is probably dismantling and progressively consuming an aircraft over the course of two years.
The secret lies in Michael Lotito’s intestinal walls which happen to be twice as thick as they should be. His stomach acids are also unusually powerful, allowing him to digest these hazardous objects, seemingly without complications. I’m just wondering what the plumbing situation is like in Michael’s house. Does he have to get a professional to unclog the pipes every month because I expect it would be filled with everything and the kitchen sink.
