Wang Xianjun likes eating light bulbs. They're "crispy and delicious." He's 54 and he's being doing it since he was 12:

Ha. Why do we love these stories about people eating non-food items?
I remember reading Natalie Goldberg's essay "Man Eats Car":
There was an article in the newspaper several years ago — I did not read it, it was told to me — about a yogi in India who ate a car. Not all at once, but slowly over a year's time. Now, I like a story like that. How much weight did he gain? How old was he? Did he have a full set of teeth? Even the carburetor, the steering wheel, the radio? What make was the car? Did he drink the oil?

What's this "we" stuff? I don't enjoy reading about people eating glass, metal shards, and poison. It makes me queasy. I'm only even commenting on this (normally I'd scroll right past it as fast as my finger could move the mouse button) because of that whole "we" thing. Don't assume people have the same tastes you do.

I read a story the other day about a man who claimed not to have taken any sustenance or fluids in 70 years. He was being studied to learn how people could cope with deprivation.

I don't see how it's different from birds' nest soup or chiken feet.
