In humans, heavy metal poisoning is generally treated by the administration of chelating agents. Some elements otherwise regarded as toxic heavy metals are essential, in small quantities, for human health.
Bolivian movie marathon 2011 â Photo: Giannina Machicado/La Prensa. Finally, this morning the longest movie marathon in history ended after 200 hours, 30 minutes and 50 seconds. The last two people left in the race, Ronald Cuellar (Santa Cruz) and Huber Felipez (Cochabamba), agreed to call it a draw and split the $10,000 prize.
Prior to that, the longest shot was by Canadian Rob Furlong from 2,657 yards (1.51 miles) in Afghanistan in 2002 using a .50-caliber McMillan TAC-50. Apparently, just days before Furlongâs shot, Canadian Arron Perry, of the same unit as Furlong, made a shot at 2,526 yards. Perryâs shot is unconfirmed. For the record, these are the worldâs longest shots. Long shots, let alone the âLongest Shot,â are the stuff of Hollywood legend. In the movie The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, Clint Eastwood, as âBlondie,â uses three shots to split a lynch rope that his partner is about to hang from.
