One must assume that the 27 year old South African Tony Neonakis does not have problems with his teeth.
Recently he beat the old world record at pulling railway carriages with his teeth. The total weight of the carriages was 156 tonnes and Mr Neonakis managed to move them approximately 30 centimetres.
Mr Neonakis is no Superman but weighs in at a moderate 70 kilos. Neither has he ever spent any time in a gym. Despite this he is strong as an ox and as a 19 year old managed to shift a 27 tonne articulated lorry with his teeth alone.
