Today, we're sharing four stories of humans who defy medical explanation. Tarrare ate live cats, snakes, lizards and puppies, and swallowed an eel whole without chewing. Wim Hof climbed Mount Everest wearing only goggles and a pair of shorts. Oliver Sacks spent years studying and treating people suffering from Encephalitis Lethargica. An obese gentleman went 382 days without eating. Yep, it gets weird today folks, so hold onto your butts.
