TIL a french man ate bicycles, shopping carts, televisions, beds, and a Cessna 150 aircraft. It took him roughly 2 years, from 1978 to 1980, to eat the plane
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.
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.
Just emply the gas from the tank!
About the gas, just ask an expert:
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?
Another one was, “real people.” I watched a 10-year-old girl lift a car on that show. Pretty sure I saw this dude eat a bike on there too
Dude I fucking miss those shows though. It's not the same experience if it isn't a show you like, come across randomly, and sit down on the couch for an hour with commercial breaks
Yeah those were really good shows. I wonder why we don't have shows like that anymore, they would do great. Everybody loves that kind of subject content.
I also wonder what his psychological problems were. Where did his parents & schools & friends & loved ones fail him?
Some times peops just do it for the love of the game . Always consider that possibility
My mom used to pretend she ran a parody version of one of those shows. It was called “that’s disgusting!“
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.
I don’t know folks, eating an entire plane in two years actually seem kind of impressive… in a WTF kinda way.
The Wikipedia article isn't very informative.
For example it mentions that the guy had strong stomach acids to "digest" that stuff.
I highly doubt he could digest metal.
Also how did he shit all that stuff?
The same way you shit out corn
Except that he heard a ding when it hit the bottom
I would have been more impressed had the plane been reassembled after he ate it.
Died of Natural Causes at 55. Like what, perforated intestines?
Or heavy metal poisoning
Just one more wafer thin mint, monsieur.
Ah fack off I'm full
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
Lotito holds the record for the "strangest diet" in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a plaque, made of brass, by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.
Was the Guinness award plaque he ate for eating random metal… and should he get another award for eating the award? 🧐
Tarrare: PATHETIC
Man, the French will eat anything
Eh, I ate a trapper keeper in elementary school.
Still less impressive than eating British food
The original shoenice
I remember that he (or someone pretending to be him) was in an and for Sensodyne toothpaste.
