I don’t know how he did it. I’ve tried to grind up a little bit of airplane into my meals each day, but every time I even touch the fuel tank it gives me horrible, terrible gas.
Same thing with the windshield, just have never been too fond of seefood.
The real problem is the taste is too plain, you just have to season it properly.
That last pun almost flew right over my head.
Plane puns are easy. You can just wing it.
I mean in all seriousness I don’t know how you’d eat a plane without consuming 3.2 baby boomer brain’s worth of TEL.
About the gas, just ask an expert:
He died of “natural causes” at age 55.
Okay.
Yeah, I call bullshit on that one, he was clearly allergic to aircraft.
How the fuck do you eat metal? (Yes I read the article. Still flabbergasted)
You appear to need both a medical condition and lots of lube. Which could be said for a lot of interesting pursuits.
I remember seeing this guy on TV at the time. He cut it up into squares small enough to pass through his digestive tract.
You almost definitely ate metal today. Many of the essential nutrients we need are technically metals.
I mean, sure, iron, etc in my food. But I wasn’t out in the garage gnawing a hunk off the bumper of the car.
I just use cast iron a lot.
Spourios elements usually aren’t consumed in their metallic form, but as salts. Also 900 g of metals are several orders of magnitue beyond what is the usual daily amount of consumption.
While it’s a lot more it’s not functionally different.
But the jagged edges of airplane metal can slice up a person’s innards.
Depending on which components the alloys have, it can be even poisonous. Remember he ate (probably CRT) TVs too which contain lead glass, electronics with copper and other funny heavy and half metals.
Obviously murdered.
Well, naturally he’d die after eating 9 tons of metal.
I don’t know folks, eating an entire plane in two years actually seem kind of impressive… in a WTF kinda way.
Flashbacks to reading the Guinness Book of World Records in elementary school.
You watch Real People too?
I will never love any food as much as this guy loved not-food.
Just one more wafer thin mint, monsieur.
I guess if you like wings.
World record for the largest wings ever eaten was a missed opportunity.
I remember this guy on TV, we used to have a lot of weird shows like “That’s Incredible!” and “Ripley’s Believe it or Not!” watching this guy eat a fuckin’ airplane. I kept wondering how his teeth & digestive system handled it. Now I’m an adult and I also wonder what his psychological problems were. Where did his parents & schools & friends & loved ones fail him?
I remember that he (or someone pretending to be him) was in an and for Sensodyne toothpaste.
Was the Guinness award plaque he ate for eating random metal… and should he get another award for eating the award? 🧐
Tarrare: PATHETIC
The original shoenice
His wife, however, complained that his bathroom visits were violent. One story says the metal came out so forcefully it chipped their porcelain toilet.
Monsieur Chiertout
Died of Natural Causes at 55. Like what, perforated intestines?
Or heavy metal poisoning
