viperface Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I could've put this to the mosquito thread, but fuck it A Leicestershire man has completed a 4,000-mile (6,400 km) trek along the length of the Amazon. Former soldier Ed Stafford dodged vipers, electric eels, and was wrongly accused of murder during his epic journey, which began in April 2008. A spokeswoman for Mr Stafford said he had become the first person to have walked the entire length of the South American river. He began his 859-day journey at the summit of Mount Mismi, and has since suffered hundreds of wasp stings and endured an estimated 50,000 mosquito bites, while raising money for charity and increasing awareness of the river http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leicestershire-10911128 FFUUUUUU click here and start draggin to the right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d a m a g e Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Why can't you buy pizza in the amazon? Because the amazon is sparsley populated and it wouldn't be economically viable. A bit more ontopic. Yeah I saw this a few months back. Much tougher than climbing Mt. Everest, probably one of the toughest things a man can do.
