Hello, Krusty ;)

I'm sure Steven Hawking has been on brain enhancing drugs for years. Just look at what they've done to his body.


Just kidding. :)

Wrong...but funny. :)

Someone mentioned other living, real-world examples to represent the other stats for Human Maximums...I found that interesting.

So,

Str 20 - Phil Pfister

Con 20 - Lance Armstrong? Or maybe he just has a feat, there are likely triathletes who'd go in this category that I don't know about.

Dex ?? - ?? (Wayne Gretzky maybe? ...he has the fastest reflexes ever measured, so I heard)

Int 20+ - Stephen Hawking would get my vote.

Wis 20+ - Dahli Lamma maybe?

Cha 20+ - Tough One ...I'd give several actors the nod over politicians, but remember, it's strength of personality too, not just likeability. Crazily enough, I might say Jon Stewart of the daily show.

Wisdom - Gandhi?

Charisma - Elvis?

Well, the question was alive, so you have to exclude Ghandi...as to Elvis, according to DEATH, "I don't care what the machine says, I never laid a finger on him."
 

I would say he has between a 19-20 strength. The things he has done in competition reflect these types of scores.

No, I don't think he is using steroids. I would hope that the World Stongman Competition would screen the contestants and test them until they couldn't test anymore before they would let them compete in such a competition. Otherwise without testing the title of the Worlds Strongest Man doesn't hold much weight.
 

According to Guinness, Marilyn Vos Savant is the highest INT- going by the "INT score = IQ/10" rule of thumb, she's a 22.

Highest living WIS would probably be the Dalai Lama, I'd agree.

Highest living CHA is a tough one, very tough. Force of personality rarely comes across over TV and other media, and that's what CHA is really supposed to be about- so I'd consider any suggestion I made to be invalid unless I compared people I'd actually met (or been close enough to meet) in real life. And I really haven't met many famous people.

Historically, though, for high CHA it's tough to argue against Hitler. He may have been a maniacally evil twit, but he was undeniably an astoundingly charismatic maniacally evil twit. He's often cited in game publications as an example of high CHA, in fact.

Hi UK,

Phil has a standing offer to anyone - put up the money for an Olympic style drug test and $100,000.00. If he tests positive he pays you $100K, if not you lose $100K.

I really do think Pfister did the right way.
 

I don't think Phil has to be on steroids to be abel to lift what he doe.

I went to high school whith a kid who was 7 foot 1 and weighed in @ about 315 pounds. When he was 18 is saw him lift the back end of a pickup a good 6 inches off the ground. He grew up on a farm and lifted weights everyday @ lunch in school, but thats about it. No roids for him.

Not to Godwin the thread, but in his younger years, Adolf had several liaisons with powerful and influential ladies.
