In powerlifting, straps aren't allowed, so technically Benny's record still stands. Eddie holds the strongman deadlift record, though.

drat he made that look like a stroll in the park, casually put it back down at the end too.

It's okay if you have any questions.


Based on our best estimate of Pluto's size before the New Horizons measurements, we thought that it actually had less surface area than Russia. I don't know if that's still true, but if it's not, they're still comparable.

Also, the site's not responding right now, but there's a very nice scale visualization of the solar system where the moon is one pixel. It'll take you about twenty minutes to scroll through by hand.

IIRC the only Law and Order still running is SVU, so it'd probably be about a pedophile carrying off children with a drone or something instead. :v:

I learnt today that when you press the little button that turns off clicky scrolling on my mousewheel, you can get it to freely spin very fast. At about 12-15x the speed of light, in the case of this thing :v:

I grew up in Northern Maine & the University of Maine has a 1:93,000,000 scale model the solar system. This scale put the Earth at a nice even 1 mile from the sun (located at the Northern Maine Museum of Science). Following along Route 1 south, you could see models of the planets at the side of the road in the proper scale from the sun. You eventually hit Pluto at the Houlton Information Center.
Forty miles away.

That's pretty neat, but I think Sweden has beaten that by quite a bit. A 1:20000000 scale version of the solar system featuring a hockey arena as the sun and the earth and moon being in different parts of the same museum.

This old man, Touro Moreno, is a retired brazilian boxer that became a coach for his sons. Despite being very poor and with almost no sponsorship (as you can see on the photo taken at his house), both of his sons qualified for the 2012 olympics and got bronze and silver medals. Now both are professional boxers with 10-0 and 7-0 records.
