Amazing Story of Willpower

This one is about Aron Ralston, a hiker whose arm got trapped by a boulder while he was hiking in the mountains. He cut off his own arm with a pocketknife to escape. I saw it in the newspaper yesterday, and thought it was just the most amazing thing. How many of us could do that?

Lumberjim, you're always bitchin' about how all I post is depressing. Well, this one isn't, and it's just for you.

edit: it also includes an aside about Bill Jeracki, a fisherman who, likewise trapped by boulders, cut off his own leg to survive.. Two inspirational stories for the price of one. Seems to me they ought to do something about those boulders, though---put up a sign or something, ya know?
