Sure an ant can move stuff 50 times its weight, but can it do this? Gotta be wondering what goes on in these guys' minds when they're doing this stuff! (insert dirty joke here)

I've been a martial artist for half my life. I've seen a lot of things that would make you question your belief in Western science.

I've also seen a lot of frauds. Especially where demonstrations of "chi" are concerned. A lot of parlor magicians passing themselves off as miracle workers. I suspect these guys fall under that category.

Maybe I'm a pervert, but I'm not gonna believe it until they lift their loin cloths and I see the rope tied to their distended penises.

But this only works if the fifty passengers in the truck are naked women. Without that incentive they can't do it. *smirk*

That's the easy part, the hard part is PUSHING a truck with your penis.

I have seen things like this before and I've always wondered what the point is. That through extensive training you can pull things with your dick? How is this not totally silly? Are men impressed by this? Are women impressed by this?

I just don't get it. In fact I'm so far from "getting it" that it's distacting everytime I see it. What the hell is going on here? I really want to know.

Thirteen, you never know what Viagra extra stength might do.

y6y6y6y6, If you did not have the use of your arms, you could still pull your own weight and then some.
