The display of physical strength has been a key fascination for mankind. Be it the mighty Gladiators, Samurais or modern day Sumo wrestlers, all have one thing in common..doing things which are unthinkable for the rest of the people. Keeping that tradition in mind, a former wrestler from Georgia managed to pull an eight tonne truck for 21.5 meters using his ear..! Sounds odd? ...Well, it is no gimmick .

Lasha Pataraya, 32, a former wrestler first warmed up by slapping and pulling the skin around his left ear then hooked a cable over his right shoulder and finally pulled the eight ton truck by using a wooden ladder as a raucous. The sight made the spectators cheering the daredevil.

The act grabbed huge media attraction and was filmed by Georgian news channels. The video and the pictures of the event were sent to all the four corners of the world. Reportedly the strongman is waiting for the Guinness Book of Records to recognize his super human act.

After completing the stunning feat, a beaming Pataraya explained in front of TV cameras about his motivation to undertake this unthinkable adventure. "I've taken this challenge to beat my previous record of 7,850 kilos and today I moved eight and a half tones,' he added.

Sheer ear power indeed..!
