Pat Robertson said last week that he can leg press 2000 lbs.
From the AP/MSNBC article: Clay Travis of CBS SportsLine.com called the 2,000-pound assertion impossible in a column this week, writing that the leg-press record for football players at Florida State University is 665 pounds less.

At least we can trust Robertson to tell us the truth about scripture, right? Anyway, only a true "brunch lover" would lie about what they could press. Maybe Robertson thought that spending a lot of time in the steam room with his brunch buddies would give him superpower legs. In any case, he's always predicting that cities with pro-gay policies will trigger the wrath of God through natural disasters. I wonder what Robertson would say God would do to a liar.

"THE" Leg press
By tjlord May 31st 2006 at 11:12 pm EDT
Why has no one noted the position of the handles in the picture. I just spent a half an hour do leg presses on that exact style machine (and I feel justifiably proud of my six rep max at 515 lbs). When one is doing leg presses, the handles - those little black nubs sticking up about half up the rails - are rotated outward and down so that they are parallel to floor. In the position they are in in the picture, there are two blocks holding the weight sled off of Pat. Unless there is a picture with the handles mrotated out all Pat did was put his legs on that machine and pose (BUT I'm SURE he would never do that)
