“More lycra rolling around than a fetish club!!”

On its own website, Exodus celebrates the release of the app in a short, two-sentence blurb that appears at the top of the main homepage.

One of those sentences is reserved for flaunting the fact that the app received a 4+ rating from Apple, a designation the company uses for applications like Angry Birds and Java Scoop, an app for determining how many scoops of coffee you need to make a mild cup of Joe. A 4+ rating means that, at some point in an approval process used in the past to weed out fart applications and an app that used an icon too similar to an iPhone, it was decided that Exodus International’s program contained “no objectionable material.”

Kelly Gneiting, a 400-pound sumo wrestler, set a Guinness World Record as the heaviest man to complete a marathon, after finishing on Sunday in 9 hours 48 minutes 52 seconds.

Gneiting weighed 396.2 pounds after the marathon, smashing the past world record of 275 pounds and beating his 2008 marathon time of 11:52:11.”I’d like to see the Kenyan improve his marathon time by two hours,” he joked.

Gneiting jogged the first eight miles and walked the final 18, saying afterward that he lost track of where he was after mile 10 because he felt delirious.

Here’s the full story, found in the unassuming “Pocket Guide to Coin-op Vending Machines,” by John Carini. The author is quoting coin-op machine collector, Paul Hindin.
