The Sun is claiming that Gordon Brown had root canal work done without anaesthetic. He also once sewed his own ear back on following a fight with a bear, and can hold his testes in a naked flame for up to two minutes without flinching, like the assassin in Whoops Apocalypse.
This is the kind of thing you read on the North Korean News Agency. Whether or not any of it is true, the fact that it appeared in the Daily Bastard shows that “treasury sources” believe that people will vote for Brown not because they agree with his economic policies, but because he is an Übermensch or Killer Robot, invulnerable to earthly pain, who shall smiteth our enemies.
The only other person I've heard of having dental work without anaesthetic was Evelyn Waugh*, a madman by almost anyone’s standards.
