On August 1, 1957, in Omaha, Nebraska, Minor League player Glen Gorbous through a baseball 445 FT 10 IN- a record that still stands today! Zzzzzzzzzzz Greece's national anthem has 158 versus! Pound for pound, a human baby is stronger than an ox.
It isn’t unusual for a small animal to be “pound for pound stronger” than a larger animal. Maximum muscle strength increases as the cross sectional area of muscle, so that would increase as the square of linear muscle size. But, mass increases as the cube of linear muscle size. That’s why an ant can move something several times its weight.
Uncle Scrooge, I’ve read all four verses of the National Anthem, out of a fourth- or fifth-grade textbook; the first verse ends with a question mark, since the verse ends with a question; the second and third verses end with an exclamation point, all right; and the fourth verse ends with a period.
