Badass of the Day: Daniel M'Mburugu
Wired.com's "Furthermore" sidebar tells the story of the 73-year-old Kenyan farmer who, when attacked by a leopard, pulled out the cat's tounge with his bare hands! "A voice, which must have come from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand in its wide open mouth. I obeyed," he said. "It let out a blood-curdling snarl that made the birds stop chirping."
The birds stopped chriping alright! They looked at each other and said in the Queen's English, "Holy Fuck, that dude just pulled a leopard's tongue out with his bare hands."
Or is this a case of Steroids: Not just for breaking baseball records anymore?

Just the other day I ripped the tongue out of an angry garden gnome. The birds kept chirping, though. I remember thinking, "I think I'm ready to rip the tongue out of a rabid house cat now." I thought I was pretty tough, but I now stand corrected.

I've de-tongued a few cheetahs in my time, but I've since graduated to tearing the eyeballs from large male Great Whites. Mr. M'Mburugu, stop by Delta Divers for a complimentary PADI Open Water course and then we'll if you've got the sand to challenge Disco Dive'in Dave to a ball-out session in South Africa...I'm call'in you out!
