I sometimes wonder about certain people.

For instance, these two guys. They decide to dress up like little elf men, or whatever, who are on their way to a rave. Cardboard swords and all. The test? To see how tired they would get if they had to run through a virtual world. So where does this marathon take place? On Azeroth, in the World of Warcraft.

It’s kind of amusing the amount of humility these guys will put themselves through for their little experiment.

My favorite line is from the one with the green, Oompa Loompa wig:

“My Heart is at 220. Is that bad?

Of course it’s not. Well, not as bad as dressing up like a drag queen.
