  1. “One of the reasons why I wanted to run the length of Africa is because no one has ever done it before, and now we are finding out why,”

  2. He’s a Brit, right? Then I guess the stereotypical terms are “barking mad” and “starkers”.

    While I certainly understand the individualistic essence of the unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness, I am at a complete loss to understand this particular man’s pursuit.

    No. Shit. Sherlock.

  5. Reminds me of the woman dressed as a bride who thought she’d bike through the middle east, alone. She got gang-raped and killed. These liberal morons who think they are going to show how the world is actually as they envision it wind up proving the exact opposite.

  6. Just the other day, I saw a blurb about the longest walkable road in the world and it starts in Africa and goes all the way to Russia. It mentioned all the countries and how many days it would take, walking, to cover the distance. All I thought about was how one would have to be an absolute effing idiot to try that trek. Guess we found him. Never ceases to amaze me how libtards think they are untouchable in foreign countries.

  7. I want to run the Keys 100 some day.
    It takes place in May and you run from Key Largo to Key West, 100 miles.
    You have 32 hours so Loco could get it done.
    I wonder if iotw would sponsor me?
    I could wear an “Uncle Al’s Smokey Barbeque Sauce” patch…
    “joe6’s Northwest-nutfest 200 proof Tin-foil Moonshine”
    “BF-Hats South Beach Graveyard Ghost Tours”
    “MJA’s Holistic Aroma Foot Therapy”

    I don’t know, just spitballing…

  8. Reminds me of the climate activists who want to demonstrate how much the climate has warmed by boating through the Northwest Passage. It has happened several times now–they invariably get stuck in the ice and have to be rescued.

  9. This stupid Limey should have watched Chimp Empire on Netflicks before he started his run. It be de law of da Jungle in Africa Dude jist like in Chicago.

    Like the 5 men in the sub, they didn’t do their homework, and if they did, they wouldn’t have changed their plans for the run. He did it for fame and money. Runner should be happy he’s still alive, go find a different experience. Free climbing I hear is a good hobby, one such climber fell to her death recently. They’ll be added to the dumb ass list – it’s mighty long.

    I’d kick in a few bucks to see it. Just don’t have stomach plate as your camera person or we’ll just see you leave the starting line and watch you fade off into the distance. We would want a good camera person to cover it all.
