Snippets and Soundbites

  • I can normally eat about three big slices of pizza in one sitting. How many can you eat? The winner of the first “Famous Famiglia World Pizza Eating Championship” in New York's Times Square downed 45 slices in 10 minutes! This 24-year-old eating champ has also won a hot-dog eating contest two times and a Krystal hamburger contest one time. Talk about a tummy-ache! Read more about him here.
  • Divorce is never good and can be messy. Messiness reached a whole new level, though, with one couple in Cambodia. They terminated their 18-year marriage with a divorce settlement that included sawing their wooden house in two. The husband and his relatives ripped apart half the house and took it away. This news webpage shares the story.
  • Here’s another reason you shouldn’t drink alcohol: you might fall asleep in someone else’s house. One drunken man in Maryland stumbled into the wrong house, ate a crab cake from the kitchen, and found the bed. The freaked-out homeowners called the police (and probably regretted leaving their front door unlocked). When the police shook him awake, he asked them what they were doing in his house. Talk about out of it! When learning of his mistake, the man apologized profusely and the family decided not to press charges. Check out more of this bizarre story here
