Aside from predictions of hurricanes and tsunamis, calling for the assasination of foreign presidents and talking to god Pat's taken to lying about his physical strength. Recently he's claimed that he can leg press 2000 pounds. The only problem with this is that according to the article below, there aren't any leg press machines that hold that much weight.

Do you think Pat might be losing his grip on reality a bit?

"Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time?" Travis asked.

Losing? He lost it years ago. :eek:

Pat Robertson is GOD! GOD I SAY!!!!! God can press 2000 pounds with or without machines. *nods*

Pat is a very special person.

I like to think there's a god, simply because it'd be tragic for a world this fucked up to not have someone laughing at it.

I mean other than the crazies.

have you ever thought that god is the one screwing it up to appease himself

I am pleased to say I have no idea who this man is, nor do I care.

He's like an old-school dictator...next he'll be claiming responsibility for the invention of modern warfare or "the mother of all battles" or some shit.

I'm going to try and make his 'legendary protein shake'.

Robertson needs hot liquid protein down his throat every day.

Heh..

I saw this posted on Witchvox.com, of all places. We've mostly agreed that Pat is senile and probably pressed about 20 pounds..then added the extra zeros.

Robertson needs hot liquid protein down his throat every day.

Heh..
In addition to a banana juice enema.

Robertson needs hot liquid protein down his throat every day.

Heh..

I assume you mean semen.

You know what I realized? People give money to that ultra-douchebag

If this guy ever had it, I’d say it’s been slipping away for some time now.

The last time I did a leg press, I want to say it was somewhere between 400 and 500 lbs.

I dont think Pat could do 200 lbs

Pat Robertson leg pressed 2000 pounds. He's strong, it's just that simple.

Also, I knocked a school bus over by taking a strong whiz on it.

And this one time, my roomate's brother's cousin's mother's friend's dog's brother's girlfriend totally saw Jesus in an asparagus. True story.

I know someone who's boyfriend's mother's friends neighbor's kid was on that bus and said you only pissed off the tail light.

school buses have pretty big tail lights. maybe it was a feat just to remove that...

This is the funniest thread i've read all day.

Why is that crazy? Jesus gives him strength. There is nothing wrong with that.

I think Pat is great. He spreads the word of God for all to hear. Hopefully, he wins the Republican nomination for president in '08. :)

Wish we had a way of blocking troll posters so we wouldn't have to see their stupidity.

This is the funniest thread i've read all day.
Agreed. Granted, it's the only one I've read today, but hot damn. I love you all.

Heh, pissed off the tail light...

Heh, hot liquid protein...

Heh...

The last time I did a leg press was high school... I don't remember how much it was, but it was ballpark 750-850. And I was playing soccer, and weighed a solid 270. And I didn't use my hands, like Robertson is doing there. That old fart doing 2000? Please.

Unless God helped him do it.

In which case... Praise God and his holy messenger of protein shakes, Pat Robertson.

But seriously, this is just funny.

I think Pat is great. He spreads the word of God for all to hear. Hopefully, he wins the Republican nomination for president in '08. :)

Yep. I hear God. He's saying, "Listen to me talking through Pat Robertson's ton-lifting legs!"

Yeah, that way a non-douchebag (hopefully) democrat will be sure to win ;)

I'm just glad there's no definitive evidence that the Bush family has cranked out another ignorant clone to fuck us up for another 4-8 years.

Well damn, why don't all the pro atheletes just scrap the steroids and bulk up on Jesus juice. Oh, wait, Jesus juice is only good for getting little kids drunk at neverland.

They'd still find a way to lose.:headbang:

Pat is a very special person.
I would say he rides the short bus, but I know some people on the short bus who would kick him off for being too stupid.

Pat Robertson is GOD! GOD I SAY!!!!! God can press 2000 pounds with or without machines. *nods*

The question then becomes - can God make such a weight that she herself cannot leg press it?


Also, why haven't anyone mentioned Chuck Norris in this thread yet?! I am disapointed... :(

Just like the header, kids. Pat Robertson is a politician masquerading as a minister. He's had this figured out for a generation.
1: Repeat the same stuff, with a little added every year (just like adding Christmas lights) the is the same method President Nero used to get us into Iraq in his remake of The Neverending Story (Pat's is "Jesus says/ God curses" Nero's is "WMD/ 9-11/War on Terror)

2: When in doubt invoke the threat of eternal damnnation. Yes, you wold think that 21st century people would be able to think for themselves, but we seem to be entering a new era of spiritual atavism, where we want to wrap ourselves in the bible and close our eyes. "Bibledude" was a funny skit on Mad TV, but it's a bad form of government. If you believe in God, great...just keep it real. An old man leg-pressing an American ton? Why the hell doesn't he just shoot himself in the chest with a .357 and put to rest any doubts of his divinity?
Seriously, slip some Zoloft into ol' Pat's coffee and he should snap right back to reality.

Either Pat Robertson's totally lost it, or God has a very strange sense of humor.

Either is credible.

The stupidity is really starting to get old now.:D

I believe Pat Robertson's claim that he can leg-press 2000 pounds. He does have UNGODLY leg strength. His leg muscles were relentlessly exercised since 9/11 by the continuous kicking of America while it was down.

I am pleased to say I have no idea who this man is, nor do I care.
He's one of the leading crusaders in the war against non-procreative sex.

"Where in the world did Robertson even find a machine that could hold 2,000 pounds at one time?" Travis asked.
God gave it to him. ;)

Big Brother is watching you...

I'm just glad there's no definitive evidence that the Bush family has cranked out another ignorant clone to fuck us up for another 4-8 years.

I'm not quite so sure about that... after all, there's still a Bush in a state governor's residence, and I doubt that Florida is a harder place to spring to President from than Texas is.

Pat is on tv for entertainment purposes. He makes people laugh...

...laugh at his insaneliness that is.

You didn't hear the rumor that Bush is grooming his brother Jeb?

He and Kim Jong Il should play a round of golf sometime.

Pat does need to get a grip. Oh, whoops, all possible grips have run away long ago. So much for that idea!

Comedy Central should have Pat on for a stand up sometimes!

Pat had a grip on reality to start with?

As for the 2000 pound claim. It's bullshit. The most I've ever managed is 1100 pounds, and the machine was totally maxed out with plates, so I couldn't do anything more even if I could. Which I doubt I can.
And that machine is the only machine I've ever seen that could hold that much weight.
As a general rule of thumb, you can around twice as much as you can squat (assuming you're doing it right). The heaviest squat I've ever managed was 510 pounds.
This means Pat, at age 73, could squat around 1000 pounds (450kgs).
The heaviest squat ever recorded is 1220 pounds (553 kgs), done by a guy who weighed 367 pounds (167 kgs).
Pat's squat would pretty much equal the 100 kg class world record (which is 1025 pounds).

So yeah, I'm a little bit sceptical.

What next?
Pat announces he can hold his breath for 20 minutes.
That he's the world's tallest man. (Just been too busy to have himself measured)
That he won 4 olympic gold medals, but a fire destroyed the records.

What else can he go for?

What would be gross if he say's he's the world greatest lover. On second thought, that would be funny as hell! IF he does that, he should do it from his bedroom playing Barry White and have the room in red light.

If he were the world's greatest lover then the human race would be utterly doomed to extinction.

It would be intresting to see how people would react to seeing him half naked saying that he can please any woman on earth. He would probably lie about his size too.

pat robertson can suck my hella' Satanic balls!

That he wrote the DaVinci code?

Hell, that he painted 'Mona Lisa'!

The list is endless...



Out of interest, here's a vid of Pat 'legpressing 1000 pounds'.
http://www.cbn.com/communitypublic/shake.asp
Click on the link.

It's actually 940, but we can give the old man a bit of leeway. Shame he doesn't actually do it properly. In fact he barely does it at all (which is why leg presses are so sought after by ppl of weak egos - it makes them feel like they can 'do' really heavy weights).
Pat - you're meant to go all the way down, so your knees are at 90 degrees. Also, don't use your hands on your knees for extra push. And don't raise your butt off the pad. All that does it make it feel like your going down further - in reality you're just pivoting.
All he's really doing is just rocking it back and forth.
If he can barely do 940 (and he was really straining), there's no way he can do 2000.

Another point I realised when watching it again - if that is the same leg press machine, there's absolutely no way he could have done it. When he does 940, it's completely racked. How could he get another 1060 pounds on there?

Wow. I've just read the article on that site I posted above and it says:
His doctor, by the way, has leg pressed 2,700 pounds. It is not nearly as hard as the authors of these reports make it out to be. We have multiple witnesses to the 2,000 pound leg press, plus video of the 10 reps of 1,000 pounds.
Amazing! There's someone out there who's even more of a blowhard than Pat!
Just think of the stories they tell each other.
Reminds me of the 'Four Yorkshiremen' sketch.

I noticed that too, I call this one fake.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *hides* oh gawd no...*cries*

Today, I wintessed a cat throw a minority gay hobo through a window. Clearly, this is God's Cat.

Also, the cat's beard thing looked oddly familiar (http://www.ideagrove.com/blog/uploaded_images/ChuckNorris2-793901.jpg)....

Wasn't that just an issue of Pat trying to help "god" with that whole "rock so large god even god couldn't move it" creation debacle?
If faith can move mountains, i can't see why Patrick can't wiggle a few stones.
