Gus Lessis Defies Gravity: A Peculiar Display of Strength, 1926
In a striking demonstration of physical prowess, Greek strongman Gus Lessis astounds onlookers as he bends backward beneath an 800-pound rock. Positioned beside him, another man prepares to shatter the imposing stone with a hammer. While undoubtedly impressive, one can't help but ponder the motivation behind such an extraordinary feat. Perhaps, for some, the allure of pushing the limits of human capability outweighs the comforts of a quiet afternoon with tea. Nonetheless, it's unlikely this peculiar spectacle will find its way into modern recreation any time soon.
