Good grief... just goes to show, a determined human being can achieve almost anything (I defy anyone to strike a safety match on a bar of soap, though).

I love the way he describes us as handicapped, 'cause we have to have the lights on!
Cheers!

I would definitely put him in the amazing class as well Bernd. Just goes to show what can be done if you won't take no for an answer.  Good find, thanks for posting. :D :D

Yes, he's absolutely amazing!  He was on a program on local TV here a couple of months back. 
I think my mouth was probably hanging open during the whole program. 
Talk about a man who has a positive outlook on life!

i would have liked to see that tv program i bet it was good. i just love when i see people that are that determined  to do some thing that is totally against them and then they overwhelm me by succeeding in doing the thing that is almost imposable. it really does show us all that nothing is impossible.
