Man ends 9-week, 3,272-mile Amazon swim

By PETER MUELLO, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 16 minutes ago


RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil - After 3,272 miles of exhaustion, sunburn, delirium and piranhas, a 52-year-old Slovenian successfully completed a swim down the Amazon River Saturday that could set a world record for distance ? something he's already done three times before.

I think it was Jay Leno who had an anaconda on his show back when I was in college. It took about 10 guys just to handle it. Jay (jackass) was teasing it and it let out a big hiss and snapped its jaws. I screamed so loudly that one of my neighbors, whom I woke up, knocked on my door to see if I was OK. God I hate snakes.

Re: On Feb 1st 2007 Martin Strel is going to start swimming all the way from Atalaya (Peru) to the Atlantic Ocean at Bel?m (Brazil).

What a pussy, he swam downstream. A real man would have went upstream. :biggrin:
