Gino Martino

(

• Back to T:TDYK

)

• ... that Gino Martino (pictured) holds the Guinness World Record for having the most concrete blocks (45) broken on the head with a bowling ball?

• ALT1:... that a physical examination of strongman Gino Martino (pictured) by Harvard Medical School discovered that his skull measured 16 mm (0.63 in) thick, over 2.3 times more than the average human skull?
• ALT2:... that strongman Gino Martino was given his nickname "The Human Anvil" by Marvel comic book writer Stan Lee during his appearance on Stan Lee's Superhumans?

• Comment: ALT2 is inaccurate: Stan Lee is not a comic book artist. He's a writer and editor and a heck of a lot else, but definitely no artist. (This means the article needs correcting, too. I'm not sure about the sourcing.) BlueMoonset (talk) 02:42, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

• Date, length and hook all OK. Good to go. It looks as if the issue with Alt2 has been sorted and I think it's probably the best one so I'd say that Alt2 be used. The C of E. God Save The Queen! (talk) 16:45, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
