Infinite MonkeysCBS News reports that the Reverend Pat Robertson claims to have leg-pressed 2,000 pounds. 2000 pounds! That's almost a ton!
According to the CBN Web site, Robertson worked his way up to lifting a ton with the help of his physician, who is not named. The posting does not say when the lift occurred, but a CBN spokeswoman released photos to The Associated Press that she said showed Robertson lifting 2,000 pounds in 2003, when Robertson was 73. He is now 76.
In case you think that sounds just a bit funny, it should:
Clay Travis of CBS SportsLine.com called the 2,000-pound assertion impossible in a column this week, writing that the leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less.
And there are people who send this guy money? Jesus.
Yes, I got this from the Bob & Tom Show as well.
Deuce also mentioned this latest batch of PR lunacy, including some coverage from "Wait wait, don't tell me."
