Here in the States there’s a show called [**Man vs. Wild**](http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/manvswild/manvswild.html). The premise is that the main character, a British guy named Bear, gets dumped in famously forboding environments and finds his way out with the stuff on him and an out-of-sight camera crew. He’s got some crazy credentials, and usually he can’t get through an entire show without building something Macguyver-style or throwing up. It’s a crazy show. Perhaps you’ve heard of it. But every time this one episode, “Sierra Nevada (2006)”, is aired, I just remember how off-the-wall this guy is; looking for food, he picks up a tiny snake, explains how it naturally avoids its predators, then mumbles “Now if I just bite it off below the head…”, bites off its wriggling body, chews and then swallows it while _looking the snake head straight in the eye_. :stare: He adds, “The head’s still moving. Good meal.” And then casually throws the miserable thing down at the ground and walks out of the camera frame. On the Crazy Son-of-a-gun Scale, this puts him above Hulk Hogan and that guy from Monster Garage. Then there’s the episode where he catches a live salmon and just bites into it (“I just love sushi, and this is the _freshest_ salmon you can ever get!”). This guy could survive a nuke. He could _eat_ a nuke. Or fashion it into a raft, and ride it downstream. There’s just no stopping this guy.
