I've seen guys pick up a frig. To ride a bike with one is on another plane of awesome...

I doubt he could ride a unicycle, but I've seen my nephew pick up a 48" vertical.

It's about the weight distribution, things look their weight by relation to their supporting structure. I'll always be reminded of the scene in The Godfather 2 with the "solid gold" phone, being passed from gangster to gangster. It was so obviously a plastic model as they passed it around. But they were acting, and told it was solid gold and super heavy. So their movements were meant to show the audience that it had great weight. One time one of the actors' thumbs knocked the solid gold receiver off kilter.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@jon-nyc cool video, lol!
@Horace thanks for the scene reminder, including Roth who passed the phone without even looking at it
The actor who played him was a famous acting coach who never acted much in big things. He was very well respected amongst big screen actors, and had trained many of them, but hadn't in fact walked the walk on the big screen. This remained his only big movie role, and to his credit he nailed it.

I met a guy who once bought a brick of gold - more just to show off than anything. But it was very decpetive in how heavy it was.
When he sold it back for money (after a few months maybe), it had lost a few grams of weight from sliding on the table, people handling it, etc. LOL

I brought a 100 ounce silver bar to work to show it to people because I thought it was cool, but I sensed people thought I was trying to show off. I work with a bunch of poor trash PhD scientists and engineers, so I guess they probably hadn't seen 2000 dollars all in the same place ever before. So I stopped showing it to people. You need to be an upper class high status type like me in order to appreciate the beauty separately from the monetary value.

I think India holds the record (555) for most people having world records.
It is a big thing there, and many of the records are quite goofy.

What's the statistics if you normalize by population (# of world record holders divided by population size)?
