Joe Rollino, Who Once Lifted 475 Pounds With His Teeth, Is Dead at 104

This is Joe Rollino, sometimes known as the Great Joe Rollino, the Mighty Joe Rollino or the World’s Strongest Man. The 104-year-old Brooklynite, who once lifted 635 pounds with one finger and lifted 475 pounds with his teeth and bent quarters with his fingers, passed away yesterday morning after being struck by a van while out for his daily five mile walk.
