Died of Natural Causes at 55. Like what, perforated intestines?
Or heavy metal poisoning
His wife, however, complained that his bathroom visits were violent. One story says the metal came out so forcefully it chipped their porcelain toilet.
Monsieur Chiertout
Lotito holds the record for the “strangest diet” in the Guinness Book of Records. He was awarded a plaque, made of brass, by the publishers to commemorate his abilities. He ate his award.
Man, the French will eat anything
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?
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!
Doctors determined that Lotito also had a thick lining in his stomach and intestines which allowed his consumption of sharp metal without suffering injury.
Wow, now we’re both calling bullshit. Thick lining, my ass has thick lining.
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.
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.
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.
Also if you grind up a Zippo and sprinkle it on top, it’ll make the meal just a little bit lighter.
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
About the gas, just ask an expert:
Just emply the gas from the tank!
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.
I remember this guy on TV, we used to have a lot of weird shows like “That’s Incredible!” and “Ripley’s Believe it or Not!” watching this guy eat a fuckin’ airplane. I kept wondering how his teeth & digestive system handled it. Now I’m an adult and I also wonder what his psychological problems were. Where did his parents & schools & friends & loved ones fail him?

Some times peops just do it for the love of the game . Always consider that possibility
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
My mom used to pretend she ran a parody version of one of those shows. It was called “that’s disgusting!“
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
Yeah those were really good shows. I wonder why we don’t have shows like that anymore, they would do great. Everybody loves that kind of subject content.
Eh, I ate a trapper keeper in elementary school.
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 folks, eating an entire plane in two years actually seem kind of impressive… in a WTF kinda way.
Just one more wafer thin mint, monsieur.
Ah fack off I’m full
I will never love any food as much as this guy loved not-food.
Still less impressive than eating British food
