Now....I didn't just eat ant, my ants were big, and tasted like sherbet. That was two years ago. I wish we had those ants in New Zealand.

Spreader - OT.... or should I say, /OT/

 

 

 

 

 

You forgot me, the smart person who ate the piece of glass :P

Probably most of the local natural cuisine around here. Stayed the holidays at a mate's place, where we basically stayed in the middle of friggin' nowhere for a couple of weeks. Ate some roo (good stuff), emu (v. salty), snake (chewy D:), witchetty grubs (... juicy), a bunch more insects, roots and other stuff. It was great.

 

I'm guessing you're Australian?

 

We eat wetas and huhu grubs here in New Zealand ^^

I don't know why, but I enjoy chewing on my DS stylus. and I bite my fingernails.

 

Oh God, I'm the same. When I'm playing a strategy game like Advance Wars which requires hard thinking I just chew and chew. I snapped a stylus once.

I always gnaw on the end of my wacom tablet pen when I'm stuck. :x

I gnaw the skin around my fingers if I'm stuck on something or if I'm nervous etc.

Oh god, same here. D: My fingers look so messed up.

 

 

 

So... any updates on the glass situation?

 

 

 

@Kiwi - Oh, and yes, I am Australian, to whoever asked. My Preview window didn't turn up and I can't remember your name. I'll call you Kiwi.

 

 

 

EDIT - Oh, it was you, Wong. :oops:

Stomach acid cannot dissolve glass.

You need some really chewy gum to stop you from randomly eating stuff.

 

 

 

When the glass finally emerges you should keep it as a souvenir.

So many people are saying keep it as a souvenir!!! so... people in OT dig around in their [cabbage] looking for interesting objects? :-s

 

 

 

Anyways, I've heard that swallowing chewing gum is bad because it takes a long while to dissolve.. and it most likely will just get passed out undigested. :lol:

 

I usually chew on stuff.. but I don't swallow. anything that isn't in minute pieces anyways.. like pencil lead, paper, cat fur :wall:

 

 

 

[cat fur gets in my mouth accidently.. and..,. i don;'t get that in my stomach on purpose.. but.. I have noticed it... not for the past 7 months though..]

 

 

 

I've also heard of people that eat glass on a regular basis... I'm not too sure how long they lived after that though... prob a few years. I wouldn't recomend it.. because glass doesn't dissolve... if you chew glass.. those minute shards will enter your bloodstream I think.. which is probably a bad idea. #-o

 

But I have heard of people eating glass though!

This thread is still alive?

You won't die people have eaten wierder things (Like school speggetti). Personaly I the wierdest thing I have eaten was bone dust from a human bone in Forensics class for $30.

Did you immediately grow a beard?

This thread is still alive?

Why not? :-k After all it's about a dude eating glass just because he's bored..so I guess you could call it interesting.

When will people learn? :wall: #-o :wall: #-o

[...]the fact that he

 

ate glass.

 

 

 

*She.

 

 

 

Go see a doctor, 'cause you can die, and we're all idiots here in OT and can't properly answer your question. ;)

I used to eat gum all the time, I had an obsession with eating it the last holidays.

 

But it's not bad at all.

 

I swallowed every 43 pieces of gum that I consumed in a week.

 

Didn't even get diarrhoea :D

 

 

 

btw

 

SHE -- I AM A SHE.

 

-Cries-

 

 

 

And Grenades, I don't need to see a doctor.

 

I'm obviously fine :)

 

It's been... 5 days since I ate it.

Your stomach is crying for help! Swallowing 45 pieces! My God! That stuff takes about 6 years to finally leave your stomach (presuming that that hasn't been proved wrong, or other research has been found about it)!

 

You eat a lot of weird stuff :shock:

No one ever proved it right. Sorta like the duck quack having no echo, some random person spread the word and then everyone believed it.

Really? :| I'm sure somewhere on the internet there is an article about it.

Stomach acid cannot dissolve glass.

 

 

 

It can in some abnormal cases, like the french guy who has eaten TV's, airplanes, etc.

 

 

 

It's very rare, but humanly possible to digest glass, chunks of metal, etc.

 

 

 

duck's quack

 

 

 

Yep, just an urban legend.. But think, it's pretty easy to spread as fact. How many people can observe ducks in an environment like a deep cave/chamber where an echo could be heard? And the sound they make is distinctive, so I guess that also gives plausibility to the (false) assumption their quack doesn't echo at all.

Mythbusters disproved that.

*43 :P

 

And why would it take 6 years?

 

I thought it just comes out in my waste, undigested.

 

Doesn't mean it's still in my stomach o_O

 

 

 

If you think I eat weird stuff, you should hear about the stuff I do.

 

Even worse ^^

The article states:

 

Mangetout says he simply has to concentrate when dining on such oddities. He eats, digests and passes these items naturally, and does not suffer from side-effects.

 

 

 

But also states:

 

He gets sick like everybody else, but the illnesses are not related to the fact that he can absorb metal.

Doctors found that Mangetout's stomach lining is twice as thick as a normal stomach lining, which explains why he is able to digest these things. The doctors concluded that his rare condition must have developed when he was still in his mother's womb.

 

 

 

From what I know, stomach acid is simply not strong enough to dissolve glass or metal. Not even if it was 10x more concentrated. I can only assume that he actually passes the items naturally (i.e. they come out the other end) and the stomach lining comment is more about avoiding damage than being able to dissolve these things. Added, "digesting" and "absorbing" in this context might just mean that he can pass them through his digestive system without the problems other people would get.

This topic reminds me of the time I swallowed a ring by accident. (I think it passed out, or I hope it did)

 

 

 

I agree with others that you SHOULD see a doctor instead of asking us, since most people here are just teenagers or are still in school, and don't have medical degrees.
