Which metal can you eat without dying a painful death ?
I mean, a friend of mine once tasted Plutonium and it wasn´t too good
for him, but at least the maggots and worms at the graveyard are happy
now (and they´ll glow in the dark). |

Supposedly, there was a Frenchman who ate a bicycle,
a little bit at a time. However, a Google search only
found sparse information about him. His name is given
variously as Lotito or Mangetout, all from souces that
seem second- or third-hand, at best. Therefore, I am
deeply skeptical the story is true. Normally, a good story,
no matter how obscure, will generate oodles of Google
hits -- if not entire web sites -- devoted to it.
Hmmm. . . if one were to pick a silly story to invent a
web site for . . . naaah, it would be wrong to contribute
toward creating an urban myth. |

This gentleman:

He was also supposed to eat a billboard in London a few years back, as
part of the "Everything tastes better with Heinz" campaign, but I think
it got stopped.

Of course, if you really want to have fun, there is always Goldschlager.
Though you'll probably die of the alcohol first if you have too much.......

I've tried it, it's nothing impressive...unless you are trying to show off.

I remember seeing the appearance of a "Monsieur Mangetout" on a german
TV-show ages ago when i was a kid. He drank a glass of wine, then ate
the glass. He spiced it up with a few nails. The kind of show that
sticks :-)
So the guy was real or a real good ilusionist. |
