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

He died of "natural causes" at age 55.
Okay.

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.
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.
I guess if you like wings.
World record for the largest wings ever eaten was a missed opportunity.
Flashbacks to reading the Guinness Book of World Records in elementary school.
You watch Real People too?
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.
Though sometimes it gets too boering and you crash and burn
Also if you grind up a Zippo and sprinkle it on top, it’ll make the meal just a little bit lighter.
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 will never love any food as much as this guy loved not-food.
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.
Also, how did he CHEW that stuff? And by chew, I mean make sure it fits in his mouth AND doesn’t cut through his pink parts.
The article “explains” that too and it’s another point where I call bullshit.
I didn’t expect it to be included, so I didn’t even check out the article - apparently it’s not 2GB of text, and it was indeed easy to find - thanks!
Wow, now we’re both calling bullshit. Thick lining, my ass has thick lining.
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

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
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!“
Monsieur Chiertout
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
The langolier
Eh, I ate a trapper keeper in elementary school.
I remember that he (or someone pretending to be him) was in an and for Sensodyne toothpaste.
The original shoenice
Still less impressive than eating British food
