Random Awesomeness:
Last year, Mashable used a bunch of
different sources (Stanford University, Fabric Direct, weapons companies, etc.)
and determined how much it would cost to become Batman. The price tag for Wayne
Manor, weapons, the sweet car, the costume, everything, comes out to
$134,735,100. It gets better. A professor of neuroscience and kinesiology (the
study of human movement) named Paul Zehr from the University of Victoria in
Canada did a study to determine how long someone could actually be Batman
before their body broke down. He found that it would take roughly 10 to 12
years of physical training to become Batman and from there, the person would
undergo the same physical strains as a champion boxer, NFL running back,
ultimate fighter, and elite force commando. In all, he concluded that if
someone were to attempt to become Batman, they would last about three years
before their body would begin to fall apart from injury and brain damage from
concussions... Still, that car is pretty sweet.
