Was fascinated by them when I was a kid-the amazing extremes to which the human mind & body can reach.

Hey babycakes,

Thank you for your message. I'm past forty. Sorry for replying in this thread, but I didn't think it appropriate for me to PM a 16-year-old. :oops:

I liked the Guinness Book of World Records when I was younger, back when Norris and Ross McWhirter edited it. The McWhirter twins were friends of Roger Bannister.
