Was bored at work the other day and bought a deck of laminated cards to rip apart.
Wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

Hey, I can do that. That and ripping phone books in half is a great party trick. I had a guy tell me he knew how to do it after watching me, but he couldn't understand that you also have to have pretty strong hands and fore arms

Being strong helps, but they are feats of intelligence and can be accomplished by normal people with lots of practice. You were able to accomplish it on your first try because you resemble a gorilla and didn't need to learn the "trick" part of it. That part is impressive.
Experience, not just theory

GD Buzz Killington. lol. My bad
If the scrawny guy on Mythbusters can learn to tear phone books in half so can anyone else. Again, the difference is crazy strong guys like yall don't need to learn the technique. You can just brute force it, which makes it more of an actual feat instead of a parlor trick.Experience, not just theory
