BUSTER MARTIN
Buster Martin is one of them most amazing humans ever.
First of all, he is 101 years old. Keep that in mind while reading the list of his other accomplishments:
-Father of 17 children
-Englands oldest worker (He cleans vans)
-Refused to take the day off on his 100th birthday
-Last year he called in sick. His first time in 90 years.
-He is in a band called The Zimmers. They reached #28 on the UK singles chart in May with a cover of The Who's "My Generation". The combined age of the entire band is over 3,000 years old.
-Was on the local news in 2007 for fending off an attack by some youth. "I hit one in the groin and kicked another one".
But perhaps his greatest accomplishment was running in the 2008 London Marathon, finishing in just over 7 hours!
He ran his first marathon when he was 100 years old! His motivation was to show that old people could still do stuff.
The craziest part is his training routine. He doesnt drink water. Instead he goes to his local pub and drinks beer and smokes cigarettes. HE DRINKS 14 PINTS OF BEER AND SMOKES 14 CIGARETTES A DAY!!
SHEP

I would have been so stoked if the the teacher handed me these when i was in high school.
