The Great Antonio

Our Montreal correspondent, Mike, passes along a link to another story about the late Great Antonio. If you can't get around to reading it, here are the best parts:

Antonio's landlady once told Gazette columnist Josh Freed that Antonio was "a nice boy. But so big. Every time he sits on toilet, bang - toilet breaks. My son fixes and fixes, but always the same. Boom. Toilet breaks again."

He once said he trained by running head-on into trees from a distance of 60 metres.

By this spring, when a Gazette reporter last spoke to him, he was convinced he was descended from extraterrestrials. "I went to donate blood, and they refused because my blood was too strong. I have extraterrestrial blood!"
