"A former Army physical training instructor has been celebrating - after running 100 marathons on consecutive days in aid of injured troops.

Mike Buss, who hopes to raise £100,000 for Help for Heroes during 2010, completed the gruelling challenge after notching up more than 2,600 miles on treadmills at various locations around England since mid-June.

The 36-year-old from Highworth, near Swindon, Wiltshire, completed the challenge at Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre, seven weeks after smashing the previous official world record of 50 marathons in as many days."

(This is the only article I could find)

Thoughts?

Ah, but you see, my cameloid friend, he said "Good for him" as his first post, implying his lack of caring. Only later did he read it.

Read between the lines, friend.

Ah, but see, you ignore my point, sir. You didn't read the post beforehand. Saying "Good for him" implies uncaring. Adding that second post implies that you read it afterwards.

Don't lie to me, friend. I am all-knowing and divine. And the strongest.
