In a feat of gurgitation that would make the guy who ate 1.5 pounds of nails proud, 54-year-old Wang Xianjun has shown both longevity and prowess when it comes to his preferred snack.  Wang has eaten light bulbs since he was 12 years old.  In total, the 54-year-old man has eaten over 1,500 light bulbs.  Sounds crunchy and unpleasant to me, but Wang seems to like them, calling them crispy and delicious!

“I accidentally swallowed a piece of thick fish bone, but nothing happened.  With curiosity, I tried several pieces of broken glasses secretly and nothing happened also.”  Wang practices his hobby of light bulb eating in a very specific manner, which is probably why he’s escaped injury.  “I am not eating it every day, but from time to time.  I only eat the light bulb during my breakfast, and each day no more than one bulb.”

Wang first smashes the glass.  Then he eats the individual pieces, swallowing them with a glass of water as a chaser.  His family in Sichuan, China, has taken him for check-ups, but he’s obviously not showing any ill effects off his light snacks; otherwise, he probably wouldn’t do it.

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
