PDF Editor FAQ
If the USA was a high school, what kinds of people would the 50 states be?
I can’t answer for all 50 states but here are a few states:California - The hot popular girl (beverly hills, hollywood) that gets pregnant and aborts. Lots of people love her and lots of people despise her for her attitude and popularity. Yes, she’s a cheerleader. Prom Queen.Texas - The football jock that drives his friends around on pick up trucks and picks on people. Used to date California freshmen year but after they broke up, they hate each other with a passion and spread nasty rumors about each other. Texas claims to have dumped California and California claims to have dumped Texas. Nobody knows the truth.Massachusetts - The nerdy boy that aspires to be a lawyer, talks a lot, is arrogant, and talks as if he knows everything. Girls are extremely turned off by him due to his arrogance and political fervor. Reddish brown hair, green eyes, and about six feet two. Very adept in the water, loves whitewater kayaks, sailing, and diving in the ocean. Raised Catholic, still occasionally going to church and has cousins in Ireland. Is arrogant, yes, but sadly it is hard to challenge him when he really is very intelligent. Only Pennsylvania can cut him down to size and thus she is his best friend; Minnesota he also respects because the twins make him laugh and help him loosen up: he’s proven he makes an awesome hockey center and so the twins squeed with delight and “made him a member of the tribe.” (Rhode Island would just pipe up, “I TOLD YOU my brother can play!! he taught me how to skate when I was five!!”)Sticks up for Michigan because he genuinely likes him and the giant, although he finds Massachusetts a little bossy, is forever grateful that his pal argued the vice principal under the table when the bullies stole Michigan’s gym bag and made him come out of the locker room naked in front of the junior high girls.Winds up deferring college to go into Coast Guard training with Hawaii and later goes to Harvard and rekindles relationship with Virginia.New Jersey - The slutty, stupid girl that’s envious of California for her looks and popularity. All she talks about is boys, fashion, and celebrity gossip. She gets pregnant, doesn’t know who’s the real daddy. She’s a cheerleader but she has a clique that follows her around. She’s constantly plots evil schemes to sabotage her rival California.So who is the real Daddy?-Nobody at school. She slept with some poor exchange student who was taking advantage of her when they were drunk: his name is Wales. Years from now he will sue for custody of their daughter and win.New York - The rich, smart boy that seems to have everything. He’s well-liked in the school for his charisma, wealth, and intelligence. He’s the one kid that got accepted to Harvard. People don’t know if he got in because of his intelligence or whether is Dad donated to Harvard. Prom King. Knocked up California.New York has a dark side nobody knows about. He is smart, but not as smart as some of the nerds: only the teachers realize this and one in particular, his English teacher: she refused to let him advance to the AP class because frankly she had Pennsylvania, Washington, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Virginia able to read Christopher Marlowe AND Shakespeare without any difficulty and New York was cheating off Washington on the tests. It was the one time anyone got a glimpse of New York’s truer colors: a very spoiled boy who cannot handle anyone else winning over him.Pennsylvania - Brown hair, brown eyes. Personality is a bit like Bernadette Wolowitz on the Big Bang Theory. Plays piano. California and New Jersey try to bring her down, but unfortunately it takes them two years after high school to figure out she had an acid tongue when she was angry: most of her comebacks flew right over their heads and it took them that long to figure out what she was saying. School valedictorian. Wears horn rimmed glasses and has a long Lara Croft braid down her back. Massachusetts, her best friend, has been her best friend since they were eight years old. Came together over a love of whitewater kayaking in the Appalachians. (Can never be boyfriend and girlfriend since for Pennsylvania it would be like “kissing my brother” and Massachusetts feels the same way-When it was suggested to him, he said, “Ewwww!!”)Also friends with Rhode Island and Virginia; with the latter she was overwhelmed with how smart Virginia really was and how horrible it was for her to have to hide it when she was popular. Does not realize that TacomaismyGod is the handle of Washington on Call of Duty and is his constant partner and pen pal. Went to prom with Michigan, but just as friends: he’s so very large and self conscious about it and needed coaxing to reassure him he would not crush her if he danced with her.Future as an adult is an unusual one. She will go to MIT and become a respected tech genius. Her hair will literally be let down and it will reach her butt. Washington will have grown up a little and be a self taught engineer and the only one who convinces her to “let go”. The result is a photograph of her wearing a 3d printed mermaid’s tail with her hair decorated with small sand dollar shells and no boys, she’s not wearing any seashells like Ariel: just very long hair that covers her up in juuust the right spot. Gets a job as a model part time and winds up living with Washington. Video game comes out with her as the inspiration behind the mermaid heroine. (He was also the one who took the original pictures.) Gets satisfaction when New Jersey winds up waiting tables at Applebee’s.Alabama - He’s the school bully. He’s big and chubby. He likes to pick on other kids because they are different. His posse Arkansas and Mississippi egg him on while the other kids usually ignores him.Arkansas - Kind of a jerk. Went to prom with his cousin Louisiana and people suspect they slept together.Kansas - She’s sweet and quiet. She doesn’t talk much or call much attention to herself but she’s pretty in a plain jane kind of way. She’s not that smart but she cares about people. She’s the type that would help out a nerd after he’s been bullied by Alabama so several people have a crush on her.Nevada - The showoff. He constantly disrupts classes and is flamboyant. He seems to need a lot of attention. Some people enjoy his antics while others are annoyed by it. He shows off expensive stuff like yeezies or supreme but half the time, they are fake and he’s a lot poorer than he tries to make himself be.Idaho - He’s the super religious kid. He’s pretty normal, works hard in school but doesn’t out perform the nerds. He’s pretty plain in his personality and is not much fun to talk to because he avoids vices like drinking with his friends.Colorado - The stoner. Smells like a mix of patchouli oil, Oreo cookies, and weed. Carries two backpacks, one full of his school stuff, and the other full of weed and his big bag of munchies. Hides the munchies bag in an old busted locker near the swimming pool; that part of the school has not been in much use since the 1980s, so he picks the lock and opens up the corridor and bam, open for business.Has dirty blonde shoulder length hair streaked with light brown; the style is something out of the 1990s but that’s the way he likes it. Has a skateboard and drives a motorbike he built; is decent on inline skates. Very laid back attitude and an average student; secretly prefers the nerds over the jocks since the jocks never pay back money they owe him for weed. Loves to cook but won’t discover his talent until after high school. Mississippi constantly follows him for food, but he hates her for the way she treated Virginia.Alaska - The loner. He’s weird and aloof and sits alone at lunch. It’s kinda of sad. He’s socially awkward when he’s around people. Looks like Grizzly Adams. By far the hairiest student. His girlfriend is Montana.Hawaii - The popular guy. He has great style and has an amazing personality. He’s chill and most girls like hanging out with him.Speaks three languages: Hawaiian, Tagalog, and English. Above average intellect, but not arrogant about it. Adept in the water and has not met a water sport he does not like save maybe water polo as he hates the hats. Tan skin year round. Black hair and dark eyes; grandma is from the Philippines . Is on the swim team with Michigan and his girlfriend is American Samoa, who attends a private school in the area.Florida - Hot headed basketball player whose not very smart but he’s going to attend a top school on a basketball scholarship. He makes a big deal out of small things. Great person to be around if you need energy in a group but he can be an asshole sometimes. Parents do absolutely nothing to encourage him to learn anything but a scoreboard.Wisconsin - He is pretty handsome but unfortunately, he is slightly chubby and smells all the time. The girls think it’s because he does not shower but it’s really because he has a chronic farting problem, probably from all the cheese he eats. The one party he did get invited to, he was able to outdrink everyone else giving gaining him respect from his peers afterwards. Otherwise, he’s pretty average (like most people in school) and has a part time job at the sausage stand on Main Street. Has a pet spaniel named Doofus. Does not lose the weight until after high school when he goes into the Army and is forbidden to eat cheese by his drill sergeant. Meets up with New York years later and it is night and day: He’s gotten rid of the ugly haircut and has streaked his hair with reddish blonde highlights. He’s 6′4.5″: He’s the only one who is even close in height to Michigan. He’s jacked. He graduated from Officer Candidate school.Tennessee - She’s the type of girl that would be sitting in the back of the class, not listening to anything with one of her hands covering her ear. Underneath is a earbuds so that she can constantly be listening to country music, oldies, blues, and Christian rock while staring at Texas all the time. She’s the biggest music lover in the school and can always be seen with earbuds on. Most other students do not bother starting a conversation with her because she’s always occupied by her earbuds. She’s a member of the school’s dance team. She’s really friendly with Texas all the time but Texas just sees her more as a good friend. She doesn’t have the courage to bring things to the next level and she’s pretty modest because of her religious family. She believes in God but her actions shows that’s she’s not very devout. Thus she’s not good friends with Utah and Idaho. Surprisingly has a big brassy voice and secretly has a drum kit.At one party, she got drunk and made out with Mississippi even though she’s not a lesbian. She felt guilty afterwards so they never talk about it.The following are amazing additions added by Mary Goode (see the comments section to follow her):Delaware: the invisible kid. Tends to be alone much of the time and doesn’t really belong to any one group; only Maryland remembers his last name. His father is an accountant. He’s not really the Unabomber-to-be-type-kid, just rumored to be and very unfairly since he actually is just very introverted and quiet. New Jersey treats him badly since he is very naive. Closest thing he has to a friend is Kansas. Kansas sees he’s not dangerous and found out from Virginia the bomb thing was just a rumor started by Florida because Delaware muttered under his breath that Florida was an asshole with no talent other than a hook shot. Kansas provides a steady supply of comic books for his iPad and is very proud that Superman comes from her state…a fact that Delaware is increasingly paying attention to her over.Utah: The Jesus freak. If Jesus were alive, however, he’d have a restraining order against Utah. Acts all perky wears a lot of pink, appears to be a good girl, but secretly goes to drink vodka under the bleachers and get wasted. Idaho is her constant companion. Can’t swim worth a damn. Had to be absent from school when history class wanted the kids to cover their genealogy, as it turns out Louisiana is not the one who has skeletons in the closet regarding inbreeding.Mississippi: Always broke. A good cook but she can’t stop eating fried food and now is the size of an elephant. Always complains that it is hot in here. She and Massachusetts hate each other with a passion. New York may have gotten into Harvard, but Massachusetts got in to Oxford, Stanford, UPenn, CalTech, Brown, and keeps blackmailing New York with the truth of how he got in to Harvard…cheating and sending them the wrong transcript vis a vis grades. And sleeping with an admissions officer, pretending to be 21.Mississippi has a beautiful singing voice and a political outlook that is stuck 70 years behind everyone else. During student elections she sang over the PA for her favorite candidate….and then Massachusetts and Rhode Island somehow tapped in to the system so it was overlaid by the sound of farts.Rhode Island: Very small physically, and a nerd. Massachusetts’s little brother who skipped two and a half grades. Wants to be a doctor and usually is the first to go flying when Alabama gets mad. Same political outlook as Massachusetts, but quieter since he does not want to be killed by Alabama. Very good hockey player; too little to be anything but a goalie and for the record after years of having his head stuffed down toilets by Alabama has the reflexes of a tomcat. Secretly lusts after Maryland.Virginia: Virginia is somewhere in the middle of the social totem pole, and used to be a lot more popular. She’s got curly red hair and freckles and someday will be very beautiful: on her wedding day she will bear a striking resemblance to Jessica Chastain since in college her boobs will finally come in all the way and she will gain a little weight in the right spots. The freshman fifteen will be good to her.But right now she has grandma glasses, is forced to wear baggy overalls, has pimples, and is very tall and gangly. Has parents are very religious and force her to cover up her body and keep wanting her to hang out more with Mississippi, like when she was in kindergarten.She used to be with Texas, right up until she found out that Texas only wanted her as a side piece of ass to California. When she confronted him with the truth it was like a gun shot going off, open season on Virginia for the popular kids to hound her and make her life hell (Hawaii was the only one who thought it was bullshit and did not participate.) Massachusetts caught her crying near the gym after school and helped her pick up the pieces. (It is the only time he realized girls like empathy more than a checklist of what to do.) They keep their relationship a secret with only Rhode Island, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Kansas, Michigan, and Washington knowing the truth.(Colorado found out by accident. He’s cool with it. He shrugged his shoulders, told the others he has no reason to tell her abusers what’s happened, and handed Virginia a homemade fudgy brownie from his backpack, where he keeps his munchies, “S’alright, dude. I ain’t talkin’. If I’d have been there, I’d smoke the troll; the shitfuck owes me soo much money. Have a brownie. No, it’s just a regular brownie.”)Virginia sings as well as Mississippi and is a talented guitarist: she hides her stash of an acoustic guitar, electric mandolin, Fender telecaster, and Gibson acoustic mando in Rhode Island’s closet. (She always thought he was a sweetheart and got along with him: he keeps a lot of secrets regarding his brother and her.) Unfortunately her father will not let her perform in public lest people “get sin on their mind.” Too late. She and Massachusetts have already sinned several times at a cabin near a lake left to him by his grandfather; he treats her much better than Texas ever did and he doesn’t know it yet but she is the one.In the future he will marry her. Massachusetts will be the only one who will be brave enough to stand up to her father and beat the hell out of him for calling his daughter a slut and a disgrace for going to Brown rather than Oral Roberts and singing in a band. (His baby brother will also be there to escort Virginia to the car with her bags and suitcase, taking a look at the bruises her father doled out…and shows up two years later when her mother follows out the door.)Michigan: Captain of the boys swim team and only a junior. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, and Texas treat him like shit because swimming is “not a real sport.” Raised by a single Mom. Extremely tall with jug handle ears and very strong; most don’t know this part except his friends because he rarely fights back if challenged. Really good on ice and inline skates; plays in a roller derby with Minnesota on weekends.Michigan has a happy go lucky temperament and in the future Texas will finally find out why he can’t mouth off to Michigan forever: in a little over a year, Texas will have graduated and then come back for the ceremony for a younger sibling. Full football scholarship. Michigan will graduate that year, too. Texas tries to assert dominance over Michigan and then it happens: Michigan loses it, hoists Texas up over his shoulders like the Hulk, and hurls him into a wall, breaking his pelvis, cracking a few ribs, and jeopardizes Texas’s scholarship. As an adult will be a Navy SEAL and later an intelligence officer. Often spends time with Virginia and Massachusetts at Christmas and is referred to by their kids as “Uncle Michigan.”Minnesota: Minnesota is actually a set of twins, a boy and a girl. They are the school oddballs. One has long jet black hair and an electric purple streak and the other has spiky black hair with streaks of green. Obsessed with ice hockey and the girl plays roller derby. Played big prank on California when they body slammed her into the pavement on their skates. Had help from Michigan and Rhode Island. Suspended yet again. Love any food involving tater tots.Washington: Another oddball. A boy of many interests: outdoorsy stuff, computer engineering stuff, and a bit of a slacker in spite of being brainier than he appears. Will get successful much later in life, but for now, he wears birkenstocks and flannel shirts he inherited from his father’s grunge days in the 1990s. Keeps a gun. Loves K Pop and is still trying to fuse it with heavy metal on his computer to no success. Is deadly on Call of Duty and custom programs his own games. Isn’t as big of a stoner as Colorado, but will join him on quests for weed and ice cream. Has an action figure of Vanellope von Schweetz on his dashboard (he drives a 1980s Lincoln Continental) and fuzzy pink dice.Maryland: Cousin of Virginia, but her family left the church behind a while ago. Rhode Island can’t keep his eyes off of her even though she is older than him. She’s a little on the chubby side, but she is very charming when she wants to be. Goalie on the lacrosse team. She knows about Rhode Island and “accidentally” has come out of the locker to show him her tattoo of a mermaid on her thigh…and make sure she has no bra on underneath that top. For those who don’t get it, to sum up, she is Rhode Island’s Wendy Peffercorn. Loves seafood.New Mexico: Hispanic girl who is always on the phone. Absolutely hates Arizona. Doesn’t care that she is much shorter than him, as evidenced by their fight on the front lawn of the school where she used her blood red long nails to claw his eyes out like a cat. Went viral. Arizona had to have surgery on his testicles after that encounter as she managed to snap off some inner parts. Is a bit of a misanthrope.North and South Dakota: Nobody has seen these two in years. Their parents pulled them out for homeschooling in 6th grade. Live on the outskirts of town and only communicate with Alaska.
How did you feel when you got selected for Google?
My family thought I was crying on the phone because I got rejected by Google. All the while I kept trying to convince them that I got through.So, a couple of things before I delve into the details:I have a tendency to cry at weird situations. I fail in an exam, I won’t cry. If I can’t make my 6-month old nephew laugh, I might cry.Secondly, nobody and I actually mean nobody (not a single soul. Nada!) expected me to get through the Google interviews, including me. However, family, being family, were always supportive and urged me not to give up.Decemeber 2016: The semester prior to the interview season had been an absolute life-sucker. Four graduate level courses, endless assignments and the cultural shock of moving to the United States had all made for an exhausting four months. So much so, that I decided to go back to Delhi, India for a couple of months during the winter break despite the tickets costing a bomb because of the holiday season.January 2016: My interview was scheduled a week after I came back from India. As expected, my grandiose plans of preparing for interviews while I was in Delhi did not work out. At All. I mean, who was I kidding? Nobody gets any work done during a vacation. If they did, it would not be a vacation. And this was a holiday in my hometown that I was visiting after nearly an year!So, the day I land in Atlanta, I realize how woefully underprepared I am. Not wanting to give up, I work on solving some selected Leetcode problems for a week. I think I solved like ~50 (writing code on whiteboard/editor for about half of them).The day of the interview arrives. I am terrified beyond senses! Since it was for the summer internship, I had three telephonic interviews. The first interview went surprisingly well. I solved three never-seen-before problems within 45 minutes; a feat I had never achieved before (Leetcode easy-medium level difficulty problems). The second interview was way more challenging. There were three subparts to the problem. While coding the solution to the first subproblem, I made a silly error that the interviewer pointed out. It left me red in the face and all the hopes of getting that sought-after internship were quickly evaporating right in front of my eyes. With nothing to lose, I attacked the second subproblem with carefree vigor and proposed a solution that the interviewer did not see coming. It was nothing radical. The solution just happened to be an approach that the interviewer had not come across and as I explained it to him, I could feel that he was a little impressed. Re-inspired that I might have pulled things back after that blunder earlier, I proceeded to the third subproblem. I explained my approach to it and started coding it on the Google Doc. Trying to impress the interviewer with my speed, I quickly ask him to evaluate my solution. He looks at it and asks me to simulate a run for a custom input. As I am verbally explaining the code, tragedy strikes. It dawns on me that in my endeavor to impress the guy, I had written the program that did exactly the inverse/opposite of what it was supposed to do. I take a moment and tell the interviewer that my program is incorrect. He asks me,” Can you correct it? We still have a few minutes left.” Partially clueless, partially dejected, I get back to the solution, trying to fix it. Just as the interview is about to end, I ask the interviewer to re-evaluate my updated solution. To be honest, even I was not sure if the modified solution would work for all test cases. Even if it did, there was no way on Earth I would get a call-back on this one. The myth at Georgia tech was that you had to be flawless in your interviews to land an offer from Google. I was anything but flawless. The interviewer, signed off with, “Looks good” and disconnected the call.Having resigned to the fact that I am not getting through to Google, I focus my energy on other companies and preparing for coding interviews in general. Two weeks later, I am still without an internship and things are looking bleak. As I am on the phone with a recruiter from VMware to discuss a possible internship opportunity, I see an e-mail notification from the recruiter at Google. Expecting, the usual “We are sorry to inform….”, I was surprised when the email started with “Congratulations” instead. Something was not right. Why would they congratulate me on bombing the interviews? I read the e-mail once. Heartbeat quickens. They want to proceed to the team-matching phase where they will peddle my resume to various teams with open projects for internship and have me interview with them to see if I am a right for them and their project. I re-read the e-mail twice more. This could not be happening! I was expecting the recruiter to send me a correctional e-mail anytime, notifying how she goofed up e-mail addresses and this e-mail was sent by error. No such e-mail arrived. I called up my sister and broke down. Tears running down my face, I tell her I made it to Google. She obviously could not understand a single thing with all the sobbing. Asks me to calm down. “Did you get a reject from Google? Don’t be disheartened. You already told us how they did not go as well as you had planned.”Pinching my nose, in order to stop the uncontrollable sobs, I tell her in my no-frills tone that I might have scored an internship at Google. She refuses to believe me and asks me to forward her the email (Speak about having faith in your brother!). A minute later, she calls me back, laughing with hysteria, scolding me for being a crybaby and demanding that I call parents (it was 3:30 am in India) so that they can breathe a sigh of relief too (everybody in my family was worried that I might not get an internship during the summer).I call up my parents. Mom picks it up, sounding groggy and afraid that something wrong had gone down since I was calling at such an odd hour. I give her the news.She: “Good job, son. Don’t let it get it go to your head. Make the most out it. Most people would kill for a chance like this. And next time call after 6 am, please.”Disconnects the call. I just stand there with the phone still stuck to my ears, not believing that my mom just hung up on me. I had envisioned her to shed tears of joy, praising me on my success and how I was her favorite kid. None of that happened. Bubble burst. Talk about an anti-climax.And that, my friends, is how I felt when I got selected for Google. Happy about getting something I had never dreamt of in my wildest dreams. But also conscious, about how I needed to work my ass off to get the most out of it. With great power comes great responsibility, eh!P.S - In case my mom’s behavior left you confused, let me just tell you that is my mom being herself. She is as level-headed as they come. Always grounded, she keeps advising all her kids to stay humble and motivated. She keeps reminding us, “To not let failure or successes go to your head. Just learn from them”. And while she is not always the most expressive kind, she also made sure to distribute sweets to the homeless the very same morning she got my call about the internship.P.S - Below is a picture that I took at the orientation session for the interns.And another one with the Noogler (New Googler) hat!
Is there a limit to how physically fit a person can become? Whatever your answer, what informs it?
Yes and No. I am just going to write down everything that rushed to my head when I read this question and let you make a conclusion on your own. Sorry for the lack of organization, this is just how my mind works. You will however see the theme of time becoming the biggest obstacle in obtaining the ideal level of fitness.Diminishing returns in Weight liftingIn order to build muscle you must continually provide progressive overload. While this is fairly easy for the first little while, it becomes increasingly more difficult over time. For example it is not uncommon for a newbie lifter to gain 10 pounds of muscle their first year of lifting. After 10 years of lifting you can expect to see only a pound or two of muscle growth. People often talk about a genetic limit that one can achieve in body building.These diminishing returns and the so called genetic limit are perhaps why for some steroids become so tempting. Why only have a pound of muscle growth a year when you can have 10 pounds with a little help from performance enhancing drugs? Which brings me into the next point.Drugs, genetic enhancement, surgery and technologyMaybe it is not steroids, it could be as simple as taking pain relievers before and after a soccer game to help you push past traditional pain barriers that your opponent may not be able to. It also could be blood doping, need I mention Lance Armstrong or the 2016 Russian Paralympic team?The future will hold even more increasingly grey lines for athletics. Even today people wonder how fair it is for men to have sex changes and then compete and win in women’s sports. We will also likely see things from movies that we never thought to be possible including, genetic alternations and even bio-mechanical enhancements.Lady lifting a car off of childThere are several stories were individuals display super human strength. A lady lifting a car off of here child is probably the most common one. This is known as hysterical strength. It is technically anecdotal and we can only rely on eye witness accounts as research in the phenomenon is difficult and debatably ethical. Here are a few examples from wikipediaIn 1982, in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Tony Cavallo was repairing a 1964 Chevrolet Impala automobile from underneath. The vehicle was propped up with jacks, but it fell. Cavallo's mother, Mrs. Angela Cavallo, lifted the car high enough and long enough for two neighbours to replace the jacks and pull Tony from beneath the car.[4]In 2006, Ivujivik, Quebec resident Lydia Angiyou saved several children by fighting a polar bear until a local hunter shot it.[5]In 2006, in Tucson, Arizona, Tom Boyle watched as a Chevrolet Camaro hit 18-year-old Kyle Holtrust. The car pinned Holtrust, still alive, underneath. Boyle lifted the Camaro off the teenager, while the driver of the car pulled the teen to safety.[4][6]In 2009, in Ottawa, Kansas, 1.70 m (5 ft 7 in), 84 kg (185 lb) Nick Harris lifted a Mercury sedan to help a 6-year-old girl pinned beneath.[7]In 2011, in Tampa, Florida, 1.91 m (6 ft 3 in), 134 kg (295 lb) University of South Florida college football player Danous Estenor lifted a 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) car off of a man who had been caught underneath. The man was a tow truck driver who had been pinned under the rear tire of a 1990 Cadillac Seville, which had lurched forward as he worked underneath it. The man suffered only minor injuries.[8]In 2012, in Glen Allen, Virginia, 22-year-old Lauren Kornacki rescued her father, Alec Kornacki, after the jack used to prop up his BMW slipped, pinning him under it. Lauren lifted the car, then performed CPR on her father and saved his life.[9]In 2013, in Oregon, teenage sisters Hanna (age 16) & Haylee (age 14) lifted a tractor to save their father pinned underneath.[10]In 2015, in St. John's, Newfoundland, Nick Williams lifted a four-wheel-drive vehicle to save a young boy pinned beneath its tire.[11]In 2015, in Vienna, Virginia, Charlotte Heffelmire was able to momentarily use incredible strength to free her father from a GMC pick-up truck.[12]People running 100 miles a day and ultra marathon runnersHave you ever heard of the Tarahumara tribe? They run a hundred or more miles in one day and then wake up the next day and do it all over again. This is just another day in the life. Most people struggle to even complete a single marathon which is a quarter of the length.There are also people who run a marathon a day. This sort of makes your 30 minute treadmill session look pretty pathetic doesn’t it? Many runners come to learn that it is mostly a mental game and it more becomes an issue of how much time they are willing to commit to the sport rather than if they actually can run X distance or not. It is not that crazy for people to run from coast-to-coast.2% body fat deathsPeople have died for being under 2% body fat. 3–5 percent body fat for males is known as the essentially body fat zone. Most people don’t realize the difference between Subcutaneous and Visceral fat. Subcutaneous is the fat just under the skin that you probably want to get ride of. Visceral is the amount of fat around your internal organs AKA needed for life. The guy below got rid of essentially all subcutaneous fat and started to work into Visceral fat, oops! Drugs also paid a heavy role in his death.Bruce leeI love Bruce Lee, look up some of the feats that this guy accomplished. A few of my favorites include:300 fist fight wins without a lossBeing too fast to be recorded on cameraDefeating Chuck Norris1 finger push upsPlaying ping pong with Nunchaku’sCatching a grain of rice with chop sticksThere is definitely something special about this 130 pound superhuman. Interestingly he also died from drugs.Shaolin MonksSpeaking of superhuman’s have you ever seen the Shaolin Monks? Why are they not being studied more often? They literally hang by their necks for extended periods of time (among other things) and walk away just fine.The use of chi in physical fitness is in my opinion an area of untapped potential. However they literally dedicate their lives to this craft. Who has time for that?So what do you think, is there a limit or not? How do you even define physical fitness?
