Aug 05, 2010 Season 1 Episode 1 Documentary, Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Daniel Browning Smith, gifted with extraordinary flexibility, embarks on a journey to India to explore a fascinating local myth about a man who can withstand electric currents without harm. Is it truly possible for someone to be immune to electrocution? He then encounters Scott Flansburg, known as the "Human Calculator," who can perform complex calculations, including square and cube roots, in his head faster than anyone else. Is there something unique about how his brain operates? Juan Ruiz, blind since birth, uses echolocation—similar to that of bats and dolphins—to navigate his surroundings. He impressively showcases this skill to Daniel by maneuvering through a challenging course guided solely by the echoes of his tongue clicks. Lastly, Dennis Rogers, standing at just 5 feet 6 inches, proves to be the world's strongest man, effortlessly bending hammers and horseshoes with his remarkable strength.
