Reminds me of the episode in Seinfeld where someone commits suicide from a hospital roof to George's car. He tries to ask for reimbursement from the hospital.
That's what I said, funnily enough.
Reminds me when I lent a former classmate my Wario Land 2 cart and never got it back, but I also kinda forgot about it. Years later he went crazy (apparently was a massive pothead which might have caused psychosis), tried to stab his dad with a knife and got shot by the police in response. I wonder if he sold my Wario Land to buy the knife and if I should ask his mother if the cart is still there?
Then I remembered that I sold the Harvest Moon cart he lent me to buy MtG cards, so it evened out.
This was literally the day after. Apparently he was talking with some chick who rejected him and he went nuts. You know when I think back on it, a lot of people did go World's Greatest Dad on his ass. He was a great friend to everyone all of the sudden lol. Meanwhile, I sat next to him every single day and the only time I ever actually spoke to the kid was when he asked for the 20. I didn't really care for that.
I read about a Chinese guy that did this. That dude at least had the excuse of being part of this traveling rural Martial arts group that's whole stick was beating parts of their bodies so much they became "iron strong". His speciality was having an iron dong.
True story, you could repeatedly kick him in the balls and get no reaction. Quite the lady's man.
Slight PL here. It's an entire martial arts set. I don't know if these people did it for real, because you need special materials to do it and the secrets around doing it were closely guarded. You can make Iron anything, EXCEPT your skull. If you want a fast way to tell if people are full of bullshit though, find the guy who says he Iron Skull/Head/Cranium/Crown, whatever he calls it, and ask how long they were doing it for. If the answer is anything other than "All my life", they're full of shit.
The way you train Iron Crown is beating your head against sandbags. However, it must be done as a kid while the skull is still malleable. Once you go through puberty, you can't do it anymore. If you try, you either crack your skull and become seriously injured or deformed, or you die. Since it's kids thing, what the monks used to do is hang a sand bag obstacle course for kids to run through and it'd hit them in the head. They'd then wash their skulls with certain mixtures and tonics. For Iron Balls, you basically had to tie weights around your nuts and swing it back and forth. There's also a female equivalent of this.
There's an old Chinese parable about how guarded this stuff is, but it's. Man comes into the martials arts school and asks Grandmaster to make him so strong he can break coconuts. Grandmaster says "Okay, do X, y, and z for six months and come back". Man does it. He comes back six months later, hand wrapped up, and holding a coconut. He unwraps his hand, it's absolutely mangled. He smashes it against the coconut, the coconut fucking shatters to pieces. Everyone claps and cheers, absolutely floored. Grandmaster says "Good, you've done well. Now go do other hand". He leaves, the whole class cheers for him on the way out. Once he leaves, Grandmaster starts laughing and goes "Why are all you retards cheering for him? Didn't you see his hand? It's fucking mangled, he'll never close his hand again" and he just kept laughing.
