Dennis Malone has too much time on his hands. How can you verify that Zack Hample story? Has myth busters been asked to test it? Would you sit in the same seat at each stadium? How long did this dubious feat take?

Zack is a ‘professional’ ball retriever. He scouts where the players hit the ball during practice – I think 60 minutes had a story on him. He gets paid to do it so that’s his livelihood.

On Zack Hample, this is the NOT, in Believe It Or Not. Zack gets most of the balls by begging for them during pre-game warmup.

I read Daniella’s story in the Reader’s Digest – actually, she did remarkably well – became a doctor. It would sure take a ton of courage – not sure I’d have it in me if faced with the same situation.

I have to disagree. I won’t consider myself a ‘vegetable’ until my mind is gone. Until then there is always a way to accomplish whatever you want.

If you would feel useless and that your life was not worth living, I pity you. I am glad that you realize you are “speaking purely for [your]self,” because there are hundreds of us who deal with the physical issues we have received and go on.
