No way this can be real. Look at this site. I mean how can 3 people pull 10-ton truck loaded with 50 passengers with there penises? It just seems immposible to me even though it says there useing qi gong.

A) Welcome to the SDMB! B) This has been posted and discussed several times here. Do a search and you’ll find several threads. C) I don’t see a General Question here. Are you asking if this is real? D) We’d appreciate it if your thread titles weren’t in all caps and gave some indication of what the thread was about. Thanks. ---

Oh my god… This is one of those photos where you have to check that your’s is still in one piece and attached… It also says that it’s a form of martial arts. Man, that certainly conjures up some impressive mental images… ---

Sure, but do you do it in a straight line, or do you pull to one side? ---

Obviously Uniball views the world from this perspective; as such, I deem him to be cock-eyed. Hence he definitely would be pulling off to one side…🙂 ---

I’m assuming that the question here is “Is this possible” and/or “Is this real”. To the first, I can say that it is probably possible. Assuming that the bearings on the bus wheels are good (low friction), and that it’s perfectly level, any force applied to the bus will cause it to accelerate slightly. If you’re patient enough, you would be able to get it up to any speed you wanted this way. As to whether this has actually been done, and whether this picture documents it, I cannot say. ---

How do they attach that thing to the penis? ---

I would guess they used either a sheet bend, if flacid, or a timber hitch, if turgid. By the way, all you perverted punsters seem to be scaring away the grammar harpies-- Nobody noticed that the OP misspelled “impossible”. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Chronos \* > **I would guess they used either a sheet bend, if flacid, or a timber hitch, if turgid.** Either of these would fail, with attendant catastrophe, if the state of the attachment point were to change.

It’s not hard at all. They pulled the trucks downhill. The only problem was stopping the trucks. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/this-is-immposible-cant-be-real-check-it-out/41252.md?page=2)
