Contortionist Lazarus Gitu

This guy is extraordinary. I think all his cartilage and tendons have been replaced with rubber.

  1. The thing is, I heard that contortionists suffer from premature joint wearing and arthrosis, because of the constant extra strain and extreme motion amplitude inflicted on their skeletons.

    I myself have just some slightly lax ligaments, and while I coudn't DREAM of doing what he does (today I've even become too stiff for self-fellatio), I suffer from the negative consequences of having less support than normal between my bones. Imperfect adjustment: that's something cartilage doesn't like.

    You could say I've got a few loose screws. ;-)

    Pity. I would've enjoyed learning kung-fu. But my body is unfit for violent activities. For instance, I can't hold the Tarzan Position hanging from the chandelier, even if the girl is petite.

    Good news is, my Professors have assured me I don't qualify for the criteria of Marfan Syndrome (typical aspect: the silhouette of Abraham Lincoln, true fact!), so my heart valves and the future of my eyes are safe.

    "elantsci"... Is that an anagram of "elastic"? Well... almost!
