Default Man wins roach eating contest, then collapses, dead.

MIAMI - The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday.

About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles (60 kilometres) north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.

Edward Archbold, 32, became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.

You more often hear about people eating their lunch, rather than the other way around. But, well, here we are.

Darwin award?

Maybe that guy died because those cockroaches were in a human-eating contest.

Um. Why is there a competition to see who can eat the most roaches?

Because eating spiders would just be gross.

The reptile store wanted to find some wacky way to give a way a python.

I would have thought you win the roach-eating contest by keeping your score at a steady zero.

Roaches are actually quite nutritious. Low in fat and high in protein! Insects are sustainable food source and it's only a matter of time when eating them becomes more common.

He swallowed the roach to catch the fly.
I don't know why he swallowed the fly.
I guess he'll die.

Amateur backyard Fear Factor to win a python is definitely in the running for the Redneck Awards, but I don't think it rises to the level of a Darwin.

If they become the only thing to eat count me as the first to die of starvation.
