Full story from Reuters page on google video: "The crippling energy crisis, frequent electricity and hot water cuts, high unemployment and corruption in the former Soviet state of ... all » Georgia have caused misery to most of the country's 5.5 million people. But for some the crisis has become an odd incentive to break unusual records in endurance. Goderdzi Makharadze, a 28-year-old student, has been squatting in an empty railcar at Tbilisi rail station since he lost his place in a student's dormitory. To him it doesn't make much difference, the dormitory room is as dark and cold as his railway carriage. Unable to afford a hotel or hostel, he lives in an empty carriage at Tbilisi rail station. It is also his training ground and he climbs railway poles to increase his concentration and skill in heading a soccer ball. He has already found his way into the record books. In 1996, he broke a record by heading his ball non-stop for eight hours, twelve minutes and twenty-five seconds. His last record was breaking the 1987 distance juggling record set by Polish dribbler Janusz Kmiotek. Makharadze walked 30 kilometres and 300 metres from Georgia's old capital of Mtskheta to the Tbilisi soccer stadium in five hours and thirty-four minutes, amusing tourists and winning large applause from the home crowd."

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

The boy is talented.

They worked so hard to gain their independance...it's such a shame that the country is still struggling. This, however, is a lovely Phoenix story. I hope he helps bring attention to his peoples' plight.

May Bush choke on his T-bone steak tonight. In front of a lot of people. And then throw up.

i wonder how sore his neck was after that??
