One hell of a load of bull. If this guy is still alive I wonder if he can walk with a straight back.

personally, i've never met a bull that would allow himself to be lifted!! i've herded them, wrangled them, fenced them, pushed them off my foot, and run from them. wouldn't want to try to lift one!!
i guess if you start with him as a calf, maybe he gets used to it.

Try lifting this
08-02-07 09:29 PM - Post#331630
I don't know what to think about this photo.
The classic Milo myth was attempted by numerous individuals in modern times with nearly the same result each time. The experiment had to be terminated after 28-31 days, at which time the animal had grown too large to lift and carry.
Milo was supposed to have lifted a calf each day and walked a stadia with it. He did this until the animal was fully grown and a mature bull.
Googling Milo of Crotona, I found numerous accounts of his strength, versions of the calf lifting story and sculptures and drawings. Here is an account that most squares up with what I have read:
Milo of Crotona was not only an Olympic champion wrestler but a celebrated strong man. According
to Pausinas, he carried a four-year-old bull on his shoulders around the stadium at Olympia before
killing it with a single blow of his fist to its head. At the end of his life, Milo's fate was horrible.
According to Strabo, when Milo was an old man, he was walking alone in a forest and came upon a
tree that had been partially split and abandoned by woodcutters. In the pride of his strength, he
2
attempted to pull the tree apart with his bare hands, which were caught when a wedge fell from the
partially split trunk and the two halves of the tree sprang back together--hence Catherine's allusion.
Unable either to free himself or to defend himself, Milo was attacked and torn apart by wolves.(4)
This was in a critique of Wuthering Heights.
As to the photo, it just doesn't look "right."

Willie, i must agree i'm not completely sold on the legitimacy of that photo. I'd like to know for a fact that it is genuine, because that would be one tremendous feat.

the photo was obtained from Mann's nephew and is from Mann's personal scrapbook. I found it on this website: http://wwwmusclestrength.blogspot.com/
It sounds legitimate

Curt, i hope you didn't take that to mean us saying you were trying to deceive. Like i said, if it IS in fact legit, that's one tremendous feat. Very impressive.

No problems LHrob, it does look kind of unreal. How did he get it up there is what I want to know.

Yup,
Thats William Moore's great blog. William has some nice items in his collection, sounds like that photo from Mann's scrapbook is now part of Williams collection as well.
