Strange People

Dean Karnazes Can Run Forever


Dean Karnazes is an American
long-distance runner capable of inhuman
feats of endurance, such running 50
marathons in each of the 50 states ... in 50
consecutive days. He's run a marathon on
every continent twice over and run 350
miles nonstop over three sleepless nights.

Everything about Karnazes' body


makes him a finely tuned running machine.
The study found that his muscles not only
damage much less with exercise than the
normal person's, they actually get used to continuous exercise and stop being damaged
altogether. The study also found that he has more blood in his circulatory system than the
average person, which allows him to stay more hydrated for longer and may or may not indicate
that he is a day-walking (day-running?) vampire. But finally (and most impressively), they
concluded that as long as he can keep himself properly hydrated and fed, he could potentially run
at a seven- to 10-minute-mile pace forever.

Photographic Memory:
Srephen Wiltshire
is a British architectural
artist who can look at a
landscape once and then
draw it with perfect
accuracy.
“He frequently
draws entire cities from
memory, based on double,
brief helicopter rides. For
example, he produced a
detailed drawing of four
square miles of London
after a single helicopter
ride above that city. His
nineteen-foot-long drawing of 305 square miles of New York City is based on a single twenty-
minute helicopter ride.
X-Ray Vision

Natasha Demkina is a Russian woman who claims to be able to see into peoples bodies.
Just like an X-ray machine she is able to detect problems inside of people and diagnose them.
Natasha was a normal kid up until the age of ten according to her mother. At that age her
abilities began to manifest.
“I was at home with my mother and suddenly I had a vision. I could see inside my
mother’s body and I started telling her about the organs I could see. Now, I have to switch from
my regular vision to what I call medical vision. For a fraction of a second, I see a colorful picture
inside the person and then I start to analyze it.” says Demkina
