My daughter lost her glasses yesterday. I sent out a massive email, text and social media blast blaming Haitian migrants for stealing and eating her glasses, but we found out 10 minutes later that they were under her bed.
Boy is my face red.
It's actually the French you need to watch out for in that case.
Monseur Mangetout! I remember a news special on him way back when he ate the Cessna.
Guinness World Records made him famous. He's also the only person from that book that I remember anything about.
I wonder why he decided to eat 15 shopping carts. Like, the point of it would be proven after, I don't know, 7?
I don't understand any of it, but I guess it got him a career.
The French have an unusual history in that regard though- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_P%C3%A9tomane
It's not an entirely lost (f)art. Jackass had a skit with a similar guy.

Yeah, but note that guy isn't a big celebrity.
Yeah well, I think a lot of people can actually do that. It's rough times for fartists.
