> **[The Stig](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stig)** > > The Stig is a character on the British motoring television show Top Gear. The character is a play on the anonymity of racing drivers' full-face helmets, with the running joke that nobody knows who is inside the Stig's racing suit. The Stig's primary role is setting lap times for cars tested on the show. Previously, he would also instruct celebrity guests, off-camera, for the show's "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car" segment. > The identity of the original "Black" Stig, Perry McCarthy, was exposed... According to Clarkson and Hammond, “some say” that: ``` * He was born in space. * His favourite food is raw meat. * He sleeps upside down like a bat. * His sweat can be used to clean precious metals. * His skin has the texture of dolphins. * If you tune your radio to 88.4 you can actually hear his thoughts. * He does not see like humans do, instead he sees numbers in green scrolling down (a reference to the The Matrix). * He forages for wolves at night. * He is scared of bells. * He once punched a horse to the ground. * His politics are terrifying. * He lives in a tree. * He was raised by wolves. * He appears on high-value stamps in Sweden. * His favourite philosopher is Immanuel Kant. * He has no understanding of clouds. * His earwax tastes like Turkish Delight. * He is confused by stairs. * He naturally faces magnetic north. * He is illegal in 17 U.S. states. * His heart ticks like a watch. * All his legs are hydraulic. * He can accumbularate. * He appears on Japanese banknotes. * There's an airport in Russia named after him. * He is wanted by the CIA. * His breath smells of magnesium. * He can catch fish with his tongue. * His tears are adhesive. * If set alight, he'd burn for a thousand days. * He is terrified of ducks. * His voice can only be heard by cats. * He has two sets of knees. * He can swim seven lengths underwater. * He has webbed buttocks. * He can melt concrete on contact. * He is more machine than man. ``` “All we know is, he’s called The Stig”. ---
