Where does Pat find the time and energy to host a daily, national TV show, head a world-wide ministry, develop visionary scholars, while traveling the globe as a statesman?

"Develop visionary scholars" sounds so wrong.

[Lou Ferrigno] had a 56-inch chest, 22-inch arms, a 27-inch waist and could leg press 2,000 pounds 20 times in a row.

OK, there's a big difference between 1 and 20 reps, but c'mon.

Anybody know anything about weight lifting?

"The 700 Club" is primo tv viewing. I didn't realize it had begun to merge with the Jack LaLaine set. More humor value than I knew!

"Develop visionary scholars" sounds so wrong.

Understandable error there. 'Visionary' has clearly been substituted as a mistaken synonym of 'imaginary'.

There is no fucking way in hell Pat Robertson can leg press 2000 pounds.

Nope.

Not at all.

complete bullshit. I'm a big dude w/ strong legs and I max out at 450lbs @ 3 sets / 20 reps ea.

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

I think what they mean by "Pat Robertson can leg-press 2000 pounds" is that Pat Robertson can leg-press 100lbs @ 2 sets / 10 reps ea.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 16:49 (nineteen years ago)

How does he do it?
Same way he does everything else - by lying!

"Pat Robertson can climb stairs! How does he do it?"

dude, that's 2 WHOLE flights!

By that reasoning, Pat Robertson can talk sense for 20 seconds.

― Fluffy Bear (Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows), Tuesday, 23 May 2006 17:02 (nineteen years ago)

But he had to live 75+ years to do it.

one time, in sunday school our teacher made us lift weights...the first time she'd play rock music and the the next time she'd play christian music...i guess the idea was that it was an experiment to see if god music made us lift weights better....i was skinny and got embarrassed cuz i couldn't lift shit no matter what music was on.

So, I guess Pat Robertson can leg press 1000 pounds over a 3 inch range of motion, while also using his arms to help.

"How does he do it?" Cheating.

"There is no way on earth Robertson leg presses 2,000 pounds. That would mean a 76-year-old man broke the all-time Florida State University leg press record by 665 pounds over Dan Kendra. 665 pounds. Further, when he set the record, they had to modify the leg press machine to fit 1,335 pounds of weight. Plus, Kendra's capillaries in his eyes burst. Burst. Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time? And how does he still have vision?"

― elmo argonaut (allocryptic), Thursday, 25 May 2006 19:36 (nineteen years ago)

And how does he still have vision?

Thank you, elmo! I’ll use that phrase whenever I’m incredulous.
“George Bush speaks fluent Spanish.”
“And how does he still have vision?”

M@tt, that is one of the strangest religious childhood stories ever.
