This video was originally introduced in the "garbage yards" thread a couple of weeks ago. It is quite amazing (beyond amazing) and I feel that it deserves its own thread.
One of the posters in these forums, GGS5T, is a guy named Graham Short who lives in England. In the "garbage yards" thread he casually mentioned that he has a specific, work-related reason for why he swims 10,000 meters per day. And his reason is, well, remarkable. You have to see it to believe it.
Be sure to watch the whole thing - you're missing out if you don't get to the part with the stethoscope...

I was going to use a Mark Twain quote, Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt. After reading Jim's warning about using quotes that may, over the years, have been attributed to the wrong person, I checked it out. I now find that this is attributed to both Mark Twain and Abraham Lincoln!I thought that was Lincoln’s.
If you are looking for Twain, I always liked:
The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog.
