"33 year old Austrian Markus Stoeckl has smashed the World Speed
Record for series mountain bikes. Stoeckl, nicknamed "Hercules"
because of his 6'4", 220 lbs. frame, broke the 8 year old record by 14
mph on a 2000 meter, 45 degree run in the Chilean Alps. Because of the
extreme cold, Hercules had to hold his breath for the 40 second
duration so his helmet didn't fog up."

Did Hannibal cross the Chliean Alps at any point?
Why is the guy on the bike dressed like the emperors honor guard in
Star Wars?
