Episode #109

(Wednesday, March 8, 2000 continued)

Sewer Diver

Each day, 26-year-old Jason Smith gets into his diving gear and goes to work. But he's not diving in the ocean -- Jason dives into giant tanks full of raw sewage or radioactive materials in order to make repairs!

 

 

Bowling Ball Stacker

His bowling skills won't win him any trophies, but David Kremer has the distinction of being able to stack bowling balls higher than anyone else in the world -- 11 balls high!

Corpse Artist

Honore Fragonard spent his life in the vague terrain between science and art, using dead bodies for raw material. Trained as a surgeon, he was named director of the world's first veterinary schools in Lyon. Dissecting cadavers at the rate of two a week, he started to develop the techniques that would allow him to preserve and pose his unique works, flayed figures.

Big Steak Eaters

At the Big Texan Steak Ranch, it's not just big macho cowboys that try to devour all this meat. Men, women, and even kids dive head first into a giant 72 oz. cut of meat. A couple from Nevada have passed through this steak house every year for the last three years and entered the contest, adding their own unique twist to it... they compete against each other!
