Man with no arms or legs can play football, swim and surf

telegraph.co.uk — Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but has learnt to play football, swim and even surf. The 26-year old is mainly torso but has a small foot on his left hip which helps him balance and enables him to kick. Mr Vujicic uses his single foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up between his toes.

    His parents are as inspiring as he is. Bravo!

  • qwertydvorak, on 07/03/2009, -0/+11Once upon a time there was a lady who was tired of living with men who were either physically abusive, who ran away from her, or who were horrible in bed. So she put an Ad in the paper, that was asking for a man who:
    1) would treat her nicely
    2) wouldn't run away from her,
    3) would be good in bed.

    Three weeks passed, and there was no reply from any man. So she just figured that there wasn't a man alive who could live up to these expectations, so she just gave up. But then, one day she heard the doorbell rang. She answered it, and there on the front porch was a man in a wheel chair who didn't have any arms or legs.

    The man said, "I'm here about the ad you put in the paper. As you can see, I have no arms so I can't beat you, and I have no legs so I can't run away from you."

    The woman replied, "Yes, but are you good in bed."

    The man said with a smirk in his face, "How do you think I rang the doorbell?"

    Sports are really getting back to minimalism.

  • sgfreak784, on 07/03/2009, -0/+3@MacGyver, just because you don't like God doesn't give you the right to trash what someone else believes. If you would do some research, you'd see that Nick Vujicic is a *very* devout believer in Jesus Christ. If you like him less because of that, I hope you aren't too disappointed.

    I actually met the guy myself about 2 months ago, and he asked me for a hug. Incredible guy.
  • asiarock, on 07/03/2009, -0/+3This guy is awesome. Makes me feel like I should be doing more with my own life!
  • CdnStanton, on 07/03/2009, -0/+3Yes, clearly they've photoshopped his arms and legs off.
    You might not see a point in his activities, but I imagine he's done more than you. (And me, as I sit here in my computer chair trolling Digg)
  • MacBookForMe, on 07/03/2009, -0/+3Yes, it made me to rethink about my daily moaning...loved that sheer life energy of this guy!
  • TheEggAndI, on 07/03/2009, -0/+3he's also a skilled dancer as well! unfortunately he can only do the 'worm'


    a man with no arms and legs is much more physically active than i am, so i have to make fun of him in order to feel better about myself. its how i operate
