When I was a teenager, people thought I was crazy because I started slowly <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stretching_(body_piercing)">gauging</a> my ears (full disclosure: I didn't get very far). But that doesn't even compare to the absurdity that you'll find in this video.<br />
<br />
Lasha Pataraya, a Georgian strongman, has reportedly set a new world record for pulling a truck with his ear. The truck weighed more than eight tons, and Pataraya managed to drag it a full 70 feet with a rope tied around his ear while a crowd cheered him on. Being a super-strong dude is one thing, but deciding to do something like this is just... well, we'll leave that for you to decide.<br />
