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
You're viewing a single thread.
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.
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.
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.
Well, naturally he'd die after eating 9 tons of metal.
Obviously murdered.
