Can a bear outrun a racehorse?
People who actually deal with bears say a grizzly bear can cover two miles at 30 miles an hour, "a stamina that would certainly try the best of horses." See http://www.nps.gov/history/history/online_books/yell/vol14-1-2a.htm
The text at the URL above was written by a Yellowstone Park Ranger who had many chances to observe grizzly bears. He quotes Ernest Thompson Seton, who says "Those who form their idea of a bear's speed from watching a hulking, slouching prisoner, are sure to be amazed at the real thing. For 50 or 100 yards a Grizzly can go faster than any horse, and keep it up indefinitely."
If combined with a good diet, yes you could gain muscle mass. If you're starting skinny the SURPLUS intake (meaning calories above the daily needs) would have to be around 388-4200 aprox. to gain 1 pound aprox. in 8 days. More cals means more weight gains, but be carefull not to wear your intestine out. spread the calories during the day in 6 meals. Also if you don't have a to great appetite, you can help reaching your goals with protein shakes or whey shakes. Take 2x a day be sure to take 1 right after your p90x workout because it will get absorbed better, but don't expect to gain mass by taking in 4000 calories a day with only shakes ! ONLY real healthy food does the real job and you might watch out for the whey shakes if you have any intolerance for milk, glutes or soy. Look foor the composition of the whey before buying it to be sure it doesn't contain any derivates from foods you don't tolerate. If like me, you can eat anything there shouldn't be any problem. Oh and dont forget to contact a physician before taking shakes because they're quite heavy on your liver and some other organs if you have a medical history or if you don't drink enough water.

Does Billy blanks' Tae Bo really work fast?
Before I fell pregnant, I was kind of unfit so (not overweight but unfit) so I was using the Tae Bo flex and cardio, I found flex to be the better of the two because cardio I could only do 10 minutes. Anyway even only being able to do 10 - 30 minutes of the workout (and I did this every day ) I still found in 2 weeks my tummy was definitely tighter, arms more defined, I had more stamina and energy and by the end of 14 days had lost 4 kilos (approx 8 pounds) which I thought was pretty good. You will not know if it will work for you until you try, but I have found if you are not active, the full 40 minutes to 1 hr can be a bit much so maybe start slow. I guess they all work you just need to do them daily the Fat Blaster is more intense but I'm just a kid and I did the 40 minute cardio everyday and its not that bad once you get used to it.
METs (short for metabolic equivalent) is a measurement of human energy. A body at rest uses 1 MET to maintain function. Physical activity is measured in multiples of METs. For instance, walking at a 3 mile per hour pace equals 3 METS, as does my favorite exercise Tai Chi.

HOW DO YOU BUILD MUSCLE
So, how do you build muscle?
Well, the best way to build muscle is to use progressive resistance training. The basic method is easy to understand. Use a weight to stress a muscle group more than you usually use it, let it recover, and then repeat the process. Done properly, your body will overcompensate by building muscle.
For example, suppose that you are able to do 6 bench presses with 135 lbs. After resting for a couple of days and having good nutrition, you go back to the gym and are able to get 7 reps with 135 lbs. the next time. Now you have become stronger.
The most popular way to use progressive resistance is using a program of double progressive resistance, which increases both the number of repetitions and the weight moved. To continue with the previous example, suppose that you work your way up to being able to perform 12 reps with 135 lbs. With respect to simply adding reps, there comes a point of diminishing returns. So, the next time you train, you could add weight and drop the reps back, for example, do 6 reps with 140 lbs. You could also use a program that requires multiple sets, for example, doing 2 sets of 6 reps with 140 lbs.
There are variables to consider: For example, which exercises should you use? How should each exercise be performed? What is the best order of exercises for you to use? How frequently should you train? How should you eat to maximize muscle building? And so on. To guide you and show you how to build muscle, see the free programs and plans, listed in the page links at the bottom of this answer.
One key is to remember that it is a process of growth and recovery. In other words, you do not build muscle in the gym. What you do in the gym is to stimulate muscular growth by stressing your muscles. Your body will then grow stronger outside the gym if you give it good nutrition as well as sufficient rest and recovery. For this reason, training twice a week is about right for most people.

Do you wear a supporter and cup over or under your underwear?
Different men wear it differently. Oftentimes the jock/cup replace the underwear entirely. Otherwise the jock would typically go outside underwear, sliding shorts, etc.
I would seriously go to a doctor and press him until he gives you a substantial answer!
