Is there anyone in history who was as smart as Einstein and as strong as Bruce Lee?
The answer may surprise you, but this fella may have got close to Bruce Lee in terms of strength, while arguably surpassing Einstein in smartness.
While Sir Isaac Newton got his recognition out of his work in the scientific world (he almost single-handedly formed a new science, or at least changed the way it was perceived), apparently he was also a pugilist, a bare fist fighter, in a sport renowned for its brutality (a single boxing fight in the 17th century could last for 2/3 hours and usually ended only when one of the fighters got punched so hard he could barely see or remain on his feet):
It may not be generally known that Sir Isaac Newton, who died in 1726-7, over the age of eighty, used to strip up his shirt sleeves but a short time before his death, and showing his muscular brawny arm, would relate how dexterous he had been in his youth at the practice of boxing.

How this whale ended up on the edge of the Amazon Rainforest
I am personally astonished how this whale managed to get itself up there. The 8-metre-long carcass (26 feet) was found near the edge of the Amazon river where vultures were feeding on it. (February 22nd, 2019)
The news of the whale caught the attention of a wildlife nonprofit organization, called the , which then sent ten biologists to the scene to figure out what was going on.
The whale’s massive carcass was found resting on the forest floor of Marajo island, roughly 15 metres (50 feet) from the ocean shore and close to the Amazon River mouth.
With no wounds seen anywhere on its body, there were few clues to explain how this creature ended up so far from the water, not to mention its natural summer habitat.
"We're still not sure how it landed here, but we're guessing that the creature was floating close to the shore and the tide, which has been pretty considerable over the past few days, picked it up and threw it inland, into the mangrove,"
