Denise Mueller-Korenek rides bicycle 183.9 mph
That's average speed over the last mile, so peak was probably a bit higher.

My brother did this through his abdomen with the handle of a bicycle, after the rubber grip had come off, so it was just a metal cylinder. When he pulled the handle out (or rather, lifted his body off the handle), the plug of human flesh was still inside the tube; it had taken a perfect circle out of him like a cookie cutter.

I think I know your brother. Are you from Cleveland?

Then again it’s probably somewhat common.

If you want badass running check out this film on the Berkley Marathon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDZdsqbcGTU

The Berkley Marathon is an extemely hard ultrarunning event where the start is signalled by a man blowing on a conch shell anytime in a 12 hour window, the course is off trail and you need to collect pages from book to prove you've been to each checkpoint. Every time someone completes it the course is changed to get harder. The current course is somewhere in the region of 120 miles which you need to complete in under 60 hours.

Barkley Marathons. Here's a really good documentary on it, with a bunch of time spent interviewing the guy who started it.

That's the bullet ant. The pic is a bull-ant. Bull-Ant's look much fiercer, with their huge pincers, but any pain from their bite is purely from the physical aspects of a bite. The bullet-ant delivers it's pain from venom.

Nah, like most ants, bull ants have plenty of venom in their sting. The bite serves to get a grip in order to sting, even if it is an uncomfortable bite.

It reminds me of this moose just plowing through a deep snowbank like it's not there

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6GEhM2Byk7w

I got charged by a moose once and I thought surely I was safe because I was up on a road and she was 100 yd away up to her neck in water. The wake coming off her chest looked like a car hitting those water barrels at the base of overpasses and it was like she teleported onto the road coming for me.

And people just try to walk up to these fuckin things all the time.

It's called spronking. Pretty much the whole deer family does it as a way to signal being super healthy and probably the wrong individual for predators to chase.

Pronking. Or stotting.

That was just a jump, though. Elk don't really pronk.

It'd be funny if this isn't how it's played at all. I like to think the celts had some kind of rousing jaunty tune played to keep their spirits up.

Also holy poo poo 65,000 people showed up to he a r that thing played.

Male cervids are insanely strong, even more so when rutting. I'd bet that when the loser decayed enough, our boy there could twist and pull enough to remove the whole head. Especially if the loser's body got caught in a tree or fence. I've cut a lot of deer heads off and when you cut through the muscle and connective tissue down to the spine, it only takes a couple twists to disarticulate the head.

That does look like a very clean cut though, I'd expect a bunch of skin hanging.

It's still unclear how likely it is that prions can be transmitted by eating meat. There's no conclusive evidence, but the consequences of that happening are terrible (Creutzfelt-Jakob). There is one study that indicated feeding meat from a positive deer to a macaque transmitted the prions but that's all I'm aware of. Brain and spinal tissue are more likely to cause transmission, and there's always the possibility that the butchering process could cause contamination, but it's not difficult to avoid that. I wouldn't knowingly eat a positive animal.

No I know a jackalope is a rabbit but I vaguely recall there being a rat based one.

Well there's the deer mouse, which is a mouse, and the mouse deer, which I think is not a deer at all, and is definitely not a mouse. None of them have antlers but mouse deer have fangs so that's pretty badass I guess.

No I think antlers are related to hairs, like a hair that grows out as one giant chunk.

Or is that horns?

Antlers are mostly bone, horns are keratin sheaths, similar to hair and nails.
