We've previously discussed the possibility of running a two hour marathon (with much of the usual wit in this thread). For a comparison against running one mile in four minutes, running at the pace of a five minute mile would be too slow. Like running a mile in four minutes, people said running a marathon in two hours was impossible. However, it is looking very possible with advanced footwear and suchlike. Specifically, Kenyan marathon runner Eliud Kipchoge was within 0.4% of this goal. Variously reported as being 25 seconds or 26 second too slow, his effort is an unofficial world record.

Seen the new "Soylent Wars" movie? Its kinda gory. AC misidentifies number 7 as a human female whom is actually a flat chested hairy wookie. The collectible AC action figure has a removable arm that fits down ACs mouth, just like the movie.
