Agatti Airport, Lakshadweep
HolidayIQ Traveller Gautam Barman
says, “Agatti is a small island and hence, one can enjoy the sea, the lagoons
and the beach. You can go to Bangaram and enjoy a full day there. It is about
an hour’s journey by boat. Make sure that the permit and formalities are taken
care of beforehand.”
Surrounded by nothing but the
Indian Ocean, the 4,000-foot-long Agatti Airport is so random and petite that
it could pass off as a piece of a larger runway lost at sea. The airport is the
only one in Lakshadweep - a Indian Union Territory comprising 36 exotic islands
located off of the southwestern coast of India, and sits on the island of
Agatti.
Rain man
Kim Peek died in 2009, but by
this time he had perfectly memorized 12,000 books. He had become so good at
memorizing information that he could read two pages at a time using one eye for
each page. He is said to have had the best example of an eidetic
memory/photographic memory and he could recall 98% of everything that he ever
experienced in perfect detail. His story was the inspiration for the movie Rain
Man, although he believed using his abilities for things such as gambling to be
“unethical”.
Mister Eat it all
Michael Lotito is known as
‘Monsier Mangetout’ which means ‘Mister Eat-it-All’. He possesses a stomach and
intestine with walls twice the thickness of a normal human and his digestive
acids are extremely powerful. He has eaten bicycles, glass, rubber, television
sets as well as holding the Guiness World Record for eating a plane (which took
2 years) by simply cutting the items up and consuming them with oil and water.
Running Man
Dean Karnazes is an American
long-distance runner capable of inhuman feats of endurance, such running 50
marathons in each of the 50 states ... in 50 consecutive days. Which he totally
goddamned did. He's run a marathon on every continent twice over and run 350
miles nonstop over three sleepless nights.
