I HEARD THIS STORY FROM A MAN I WORK WITH.
I ALSO WORK WITH THE BRAIN SURGEON WHO TRIED THIS
AND I DO NOT DOUBT IT FOR A SECOND.
IT SEEMS THAT ONE FINE MORNING IN CENTRAL ILLINOIS, IN AUGUST(WHEN THE TEMPERATURE IS A FINE 110 DEGRES IN THE SHADE) THE SUBJECT DECIDIE THAT HE NEEDED TO DROP A LITTLE WEIGHT. IN ORDER TO DO THIS HE DECIDED TO BEGIN A RUNNING PROGRAM.
HE DECIDED THAT HE COULD LOSE MORE WEIGHT IN A HURRY IF HE WERE TO SWEAT A LOT SO HE CONVINCED HIS WIFE TO HELP HIM WRAP HIMSELF UP COMPLETELY IN CELOPHANE FROM NECK TO TOE. THEN, AS IF DRESSING HIMSELF UP LIKE A BAD LEFT-OVER WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, HE WORE WINTER SWEAT PANTS AND A SWEATSHIRT. ONCE HE WAS DRESSED HE BEGAN HIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE AT THIS POINT REACHED ABOUT 104. TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE, OUR HERO DECIDED TO RUN ON A LITTLE USED COUNTRY BACK ROAD. THE MAN I WORK WITH SAID THAT HIS BROTHER FOUND HIM IN A CRUMPLED HEAP ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN HE FOUND HIM OUR RUNNER WAS ON ALL FOURS AND READY TO PASS OUT.
IT TOOK OUR RUNNER ABOUT FOUR DAYS TO RECOVER FROM HIS LITTLE RUN. AS IT TURNS OUT, OUR RUNNER DID NOT MAKE IT MORE THAN A MILE. IF THE MAN'S BROTHER DID NOT COME ALONG WHEN HE DID IT IS QUITE POSSIBLE OUR RUNNER WOULD HAVE EARNED HIMSELF THE COVETTED DARWIN Submitted on 06/03/2002
