There's some great "feel good" type stories linked at the bottom of that page.

I think everything linked on that page was either "(type of person) killed at (location)" or a sports story...

I can't even begin to imagine how that is physically possible. You would think the guy would burst like a ballon and die on the spot. Anyone remember the Jackass episode when Knoxville and two others try to eat 50 hard boiled eggs?

I think most of them puked it out afterwards.

That's from "Cool Hand Luke". Great movie.

The burgers are only 2 1/2 inches square. However, when they eat the hot dogs, it makes me want to puke just watching it.

If you look closely some of them are just crazy.

And to eat 103 burgers in 8 minutes, wow.

To put it into context a bit ....

Assuming "2 1/2 inch square burgers" means each side was 2.5 inches, not that the surface area of the burger was 2 1/2 sq. inches. Then the guy ate 4.5 square feet worth of burgers.

Anyone have 1 square foot tiles in the kitchen? Imagine laying out enough burger meat and buns to cover four and half of them and then scarfing that down in 8 minutes. The article doesn't specific how thick the burgers/buns were, but even if they were paper thin, that's still a staggering amount of food to consume in eight minutes.
