Dogs may have a better sense of smell than humans, but they cannot inflate tires with their nose. Nie, a 63-year-old man from the capital of southwest China's Sichuan province, has proven the physical prowess of the human race by accomplishing just this feat, reports the local Chengdu Business Daily.
Nie displayed his remarkable pneumatic powers on four flat tires in his yard on Dec. 6. In an incredible test of endurance, he plugged one of his nostrils and ears while a gale came out of the other nostril. Repeating this for 20 minutes, he was able to fill all four tires with air.
Nie's talents do not stop there. He is also able to stand on the tip of a knife blade and lift buckets with his eyelids. He said it took him eight or nine years to train to his world-class level. One day, Nie hopes to perform for audiences around China.
