  • “Gastroenterologists who X-rayed Lotito’s stomach said he was capable of consuming 2 pounds per day, according to his Guinness World Records entry.”

    I often read things and think about them and realize that it’s so absurd I can’t believe anyone tried to pass it off as true, and this is one of them.

    Gastroenterologist: “Oh yeah, that stomach can consume metal, I know because…” Because what? You’ve been trained to identify stomachs that can digest metal using X-rays? What day of gastroenterologist school was that?

    Go Google abdominal X-ray. You can’t even tell where the stomach is, it’s just a cloudy area.

    "Oh yeah, that cloudy area there can definitely digest metal, I can tell just by looking at it. I’d say it can digest, say, a pound and a half easily. Probably two pounds. Probably not two and a half though, I can tell just by looking at it that two pounds would be too much. "


    1. I liked fooling with computers and installed it just to see what it was. I went through several distros over the next few years, Mandrake, Suse, Red Hat, compiled Gentoo from scratch, and finally settled on Slackware. It was my only OS for 14-15 years until I started a business in 2016 and needed software that’s only available in Windows. I only use Windows on my PC now because my computer does weird boot stuff that screws up dual boots and I don’t really use the PC that much anyway. I still use Linux on small servers for media and home automation
