The Good Stuff: A limitless athlete, a record-breaking couple and a donkey rescuer

Greetings from Ireland! I am on the other side of the pond this week, but my colleague Scottie Andrew has graciously agreed to pick up the Good Stuff slack while I'm off kissing the Blarney Stone. If you aren't familiar with the Blarney Stone, it's a smooth block of limestone embedded at the very top of beautiful Blarney Castle just outside of Cork. Legend has it if you kiss the stone, you will be rewarded with great eloquence. However, to get this gift of gab, you need to kiss it while upside down! So you're basically pitting your fear of heights against your fear of public speaking. No wonder the Irish have such a good sense of humor.
