Run 1 mile on a track in under 7 minutes and 30 seconds immediately after finishing the 4th burrito
No Vomiting for at least 2 hours.

As Luke downs 1 burrito after another, he successfully fends of a would be 4 legged spoiler. Then like a transition in the Iron Man, Luke immediatly takes to the track for the mile run.

Not only does he complete the mile, he does it in 5 minutes and 57 seconds! Fighting the urge to regurgitate, he regales his fans with his plans for the future.

"Dreams do come true..."

"As far as I am concerned, this is the pinnacle of human achievement..."

"...I'm going to take some time off."

As a side note – I also have to give them bragging rights for mastering a personal favorite of mine from back in the days of Mega Man, or specifically Mega Man III. They don’t make’em like they used too.

Well there you have it. It took Laura 40 seconds to chug an entire bottle of Soya Sauce. Not bad at all considering how ridiculously salty that stuff is. Gotta give Laura props for that one – I think I felt my cholesterol rising just watching that. Nice work, the honor is all yours.

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 19:28:00 EST

This guy is absolutely amazing! Danny shows off his billiards skills warranting major bragging rights. His ability to move the pool balls on and off of the table is almost supernatural. A more memorable of the many trick shots in his arsenal is a shot involving a shoe. There are quick shots and shots that have a long play time that are setup not unlike a Rube Goldberg device.

Insane Pool Trick Shots

Danny does a great job involving other objects such as multiple cues, the triangle rack, and clothing in his tricks. Some of the tricks involve a high level of accuracy and others finesse, but they all finish with a bang.

This bmx style biker attains perfection with this jump from the road straight to a backyard pool. This dare devil deserves some bragging rights because what he did was dam dangerous. It appears that the biker scored a perfect 45 degree shot from an inclined ramp where he soared for almost 4 seconds before bulls-eyeing a swimming pool.

Crazy Bike Pool Jump Stunt !

Hopefully this was the one and only time he performed this stunt because it doesn't get much better than that. Nice job, but kids don't try this at home.
