Hello my curious! Be all welcome to a new video.
In today's video I have prepared a list for you
with 10 people with impressive abilities.
From a man who can walk on water
to a woman who has the ability to smell diseases.
This sounds crazy, right?
But before starting with the subject I have a small question for you.
In my previous video, the one about the 10 strange products created by famous brands,
I told you about a very crazy product that the Volkswagen company sells,
do you happen to remember what product it is?
If you watched my previous video, you probably already know the answer.
And if not, well, you're screwed.
To make it more fun, here I am going to leave these 4 options on your screen,
choose the option that you think is correct
and write it down here in the comments right now.
At the end of the video I am going to tell you
the name of that strange product that Volkswagen sells
and let's see if you got it right with your answer, okay?
Now we're all set, sit back and enjoy it, bro.
I'm Curious Ben, and… How curious are you?
I present to you Xiomara Rodríguez, a Colombian woman
that claims to have the gift of communicating telepathically with animals.
Yeah, that means that she can talk to them using her brain.
Xiomara claims that she has this ability from birth.
She remembers that since she was a child
she could hear what the animals around her were telling her.
Surely you wonder how she does it, right?
She says it's enough to be face to face with the animal
and that it is enough to communicate with it.
It doesn't matter if it's a horse, a cat or a shrew,
she can perform a kind of brain-to-brain connection
to the point of establishing communication with the creature.
Xiomara claims that she can ask the animal specific questions
and the animal answers each one accurately for her.
You are probably thinking that this is a hoax, right?
I don't blame you, I would think so too.
Some pet owners have tried to test Xiomara
with different methods, but they have never managed to prove that she is a fake.
I'm not sure if there's some kind of trick to all this,
but Xiomara's ability is one of the most impressive a human can have.
Thái Ngoc is a farmer from Vietnam
who says he hasn't slept at all in the last five decades.
That is a rather curious ability.
It's almost 50 years since he last fell asleep.
Thái is 80 years old and, according to his testimony,
the last time he slept was in 1973.
A bout of extremely strong fever almost caused him to lose his life
and from that moment he lost the ability to sleep,
since then he spends 24 hours a day awake.
The surprising thing about his case is that not sleeping
does not have any detrimental effect on his health,
or at least that is believed.
While a normal person can't go more than a couple of days without sleep
because of the danger that this entails,
Thái Ngoc exceeded that number by far.
Despite not having slept for so long, his mental health is very good.
Right now the effects of old age prevent him from being an active person,
but when he was younger he did physical labor every day despite not getting any sleep.
According to specialists,
the only way to discover the secret of this man's insomnia
is to carry out in-depth studies in laboratories in other countries,
but he refuses to leave his village.
So his ability will remain a complete mystery.
Isao Machii is a Samurai master of Japanese origin
who has the ability to cut any object in the air with his Samurai sword.
His katana mastery is so impressive
that he can slice a baseball in half
launched at more than 160 kilometers per hour.
But that is not all!
Tennis balls have been thrown at him at more than 600 kilometers per hour
and even a bullet of chalk at great speed,
and he has broken them in half like nothing.
His ability to react is out of this world,
his arm is so fast that he can draw the sword
and place it in any position in less than a blink.
This man assures that he is not even able to see objects directly,
but he just moves on instinct.
His mastery of the Samurai sword is so great
thanks to the fact that he has been practicing Laijutsu all his life.
Laijutsu is a technique that consists of drawing the sword quickly,
it is a discipline of Japanese martial art that takes years to master.
Isao Machii has practiced it so much
that he is now able to cut in two all kinds of objects that travel at great speed.
His ability is not something you see every day.
Alain Robert is a man who became world famous
by scaling buildings using only his hands and feet
without any kind of safety equipment,
this is why he has earned the nickname 'French Spider-Man'.
Alain had a hard time climbing places since he was a child,
he tells that on one occasion when he was barely 11 years old
he had to scale the eight-story building where he lived
because he had forgotten the keys inside his apartment.
That experience marked him for life
and he soon began to climb higher and higher places.
During his youth he scaled the tallest buildings in France
without using any safety net.
His passion for climbing led him to visit many countries,
throughout his life he has climbed places like the Empire State in New York,
Taipei 101 building in Taiwan
and even the tallest building in the world, Dubai's Burj Khalifa.
His ability is unique because he doesn't use safety equipment.
Climbing a building with the appropriate equipment is something
that a professional and experienced climber can do,
but doing it without any security equipment is only within the reach of Alain Robert,
the French Spider-Man.
- Screw you! - Benny...
Where are you going in that Spider-Man suit?
Neelakantha Bhanu Prakash is a boy who is known for being
the fastest human calculator in the world.
This boy is capable of performing complex mathematical operations of more than 10 digits
in less than 30 seconds,
something that for a common person is almost impossible.
His ability has drawn so much attention from experts
that they have even carried out studies to learn more about his case.
It is known that Bhanu's brain is capable of processing 12 numbers per second,
that's 10 times faster than the average person can process.
But his ability isn't something he was born with, you know?
When he was 5 years old, Bhanu had an accident on a motorcycle
and his head received heavy blows that nearly left him lifeless.
Doctors told his parents that Bhanu was likely to have cognitive impairment
because of his head injuries, but it was the opposite.
During his recovery this boy learned mathematics at an advanced level
and he designed a mental strategy to perform complex calculations in a few seconds.
The nickname 'human calculator' is no coincidence,
no one else is known to have a knack for numbers like he does.
Jill Price is an American woman
with one of the most impressive photographic memories in the world.
This woman is able to remember even the smallest detail of her life.
Her condition is known as hyperthymesia.
Hyperthymesia is a neurological disorder that affects the human brain,
People who suffer from it have a memory much higher than normal
and they can remember even the smallest details of their lives.
At the age of 14 Jill realized that she had a special ability,
every time she read a book she was able to remember every word,
something impossible for anyone.
To give you an idea of ​​her ability,
she is able to tell all the details of each day of her life in exact dates and times.
If you ask her what she ate, what she wore and where she was on a specific day,
she will tell you everything in great detail.
Jill has visited various experts to understand how her brain has that ability,
but so far they don't have a concrete answer,
her brain seems to work and look like any of us,
hers does not present any different characteristics.
Although her ability might seem great to you,
I think it shouldn't be nice to remember everything from your past.
Shi Liliang is a Shaolin monk known for his ability to push his body to amazing limits,
he can do things that for you and me are impossible,
like supporting the weight of his whole body with a single finger or walking on water.
Can you imagine that?
His story dates back to the 80s,
when Shi was a kid, he loved to watch martial arts movies
and he fell in love with what he saw in them.
In the year 2000, when he was older,
he was able to join a Shaolin temple and began to practice martial arts daily,
all those years of practice paid off
because one day in 2016 Shi Liliang was able to walk on water
like in those martial arts movies he used to watch when he was a kid.
To be more honest, he walked on some very thin boards that he placed on the lake,
these wooden boards gave him some buoyancy,
but they were thin enough to tell that he walked on water.
On that occasion he traveled 120 meters over them without sinking,
he is the only human to have accomplished such an incredible feat like this.
Michel Lotito was a man of French origin
who became very famous for eating all kinds of strange objects,
from metal and glass, or even rubber.
His peculiar ability led him to earn the nickname 'Mr. Eat-All'.
Throughout his life he ate bicycles, televisions
and on one occasion he ate an entire plane.
Of course, it took him about 2 years to eat it,
but there is evidence that he actually did it.
It is estimated that by the age of 47 Lotito had already ingested more than 9 tons of metal,
by now you might be wondering how the hell he managed to eat that without dying trying.
Turns out his secret weapon was his stomach.
Doctors said this man's stomach had a thicker than normal lining,
added to that this man's gastric juices were also much more acidic than normal
and they destroyed almost anything.
Thanks to that he could eat metal, rubber and even glass without any problem.
This man's skill earned him a place in the Guinness Book of Records
as the man with the strangest diet ever known.
- I'm hungry! - Benny...
Stop chewing on my computer, for God's sake.
Jo Cameron is a Scottish woman who has the ability to feel no pain,
that means she can cut her skin, break a bone
or get severely burned, but she won't feel a thing.
The reason for this is that she has a genetic mutation known as the 'Happy Gene',
this genetic mutation not only affects bodily pain,
but also emotions.
I mean, she doesn't feel anxiety or fear either,
which are basic human emotions, she's almost some kind of robot.
That strange mutation in her organism means that she cannot generate adrenaline,
which is the hormone that activates our survival instinct.
On top of that her body also secretes large amounts of something called anandamide,
which is a neurotransmitter that suppresses negative emotions.
The combination of these two factors means that she cannot feel pain or feelings
like anxiety and fear.
As you are already imagining, that is very dangerous,
since in case of a mortal wound
Mrs. Cameron wouldn't notice until it was too late.
I think it's a skill I wouldn't want to have.
Joy Milne is a former Scottish nurse
that has the ability to detect Parkinson's disease with her nose.
She first realized she had this ability
when her husband was diagnosed with advanced Parkinson's.
She had been feeling a strange smell from her husband for several months,
but she hadn't taken it too seriously.
When her husband began visiting a support group
attended by other Parkinson's patients,
she realized that they all smelled the same as her husband.
It was then that she discovered the link between that smell that she perceived
and Parkinson's disease.
A few months later,
Scientists put her ability to the test at Edinburgh University,
she was given 12 T-shirts, 6 of them were worn by Parkinson's patients
and the other 6 by healthy people.
You can imagine what happened, right?
Joy was able to identify the 6 T-shirts of those suffering from the disease very easily.
Thanks to such curious stability
scientists developed a method to diagnose the disease in less than 3 minutes,
so that's pretty cool stuff.
And that's all for today!
This video was super good, right?
If you liked it as much as I did,
you should give thumbs up right now
because that helps me a lot to know if you really enjoyed it.
If you want to see another video with people who have impressive skills

The answer to the question at the beginning of the video is option 'C', sausages.
Almost 50 years ago, Volkswagen launched a product
that has nothing to do with vehicles.
These are pork sausages that turned out to be a sales success.
Now the Volkswagen company sells millions of packages of its famous sausages every year.
If you want to see a video with 10 strange products created by famous brands,
