I think that's one of those 'or not' bits. The guy's an ultramarathoner, but I don't see anything peer-reviewed saying he's literally hacked real life and gave himself infinite stamina.

Also given the huge evolutionary advantage being able to run indefinitely is, there's gotta be some horrible crippling trade off if it is a mutation or else it'd be seen a lot more.

Nothing wrong with that reasoning…though confusing a dolma with a burrito demonstrates a new level of stupidity.

How often does someone need to run that long? Evolution is more about "good enough" than "best."

quote:

Yet the Lykovs lived permanently on the edge of famine. It was not until the late 1950s, when Dmitry reached manhood, that they first trapped animals for their meat and skins. Lacking guns and even bows, they could hunt only by digging traps or pursuing prey across the mountains until the animals collapsed from exhaustion. Dmitry built up astonishing endurance, and could hunt barefoot in winter, sometimes returning to the hut after several days, having slept in the open in 40 degrees of frost, a young elk across his shoulders.

More often than not, though, there was no meat, and their diet gradually became more monotonous. Wild animals destroyed their crop of carrots, and Agafia recalled the late 1950s as “the hungry years.” “We ate the rowanberry leaf,” she said, "roots, grass, mushrooms, potato tops, and bark. We were hungry all the time. Every year we held a council to decide whether to eat everything up or leave some for seed."

Guess Brad is attempting to point out (with a different twist): “Waste not? Then want not!”. Of course, Luann would probably corner Brad with the fact that such was the condition of any bathroom near Brad, waaay before TJ ever came along….

He knew his audience, though.
"Barnum's American Museum was so popular that people would spend the entire day there. This cut into profits, as the museum would be too full to squeeze another person in. In classic Barnum style, old P.T. put up signs that said "This Way to the Egress." Many customers followed the signs, not realizing that Egress was a fancy word for "Exit." They kept on looking for this strange new attraction, the "Egress". Many patrons followed the signs right out the door! Once they had exited the building, the door would lock behind them, and if they wanted to get back in, they had to pay another admission charge!"

I honestly think the answer to that question is the syndicate. I'm sure they heard that nerds are in fashion now so they looked around for a nerdy comic and saw that this comic is full of nerd poo poo so they published it. It doesn't have to be funny, it just has to have enough nerd things in it so the syndicate will think millennials will find it hip and save print media.
