Stepping on Rattlesnakes

He stepped on a total of 175 rattlesnakes and concluded that, despite popular belief, they’re not very aggressive. The majority of the stepped-on rattlesnakes tried to crawl away without biting the fake leg. More info: reddit, basisseniorprojects.com (pdf)

Otoichi Kawakami’s diet
What he said he swallowed on a bet: 13 safety razors complete with blades, 21 nails, a fountain pen, a pencil, 56 toothbrushes, 20 chop sticks, a piece of wire netting, and part of the ribs of an umbrella. I doubt he ate these things on a bet. I’m guessing he suffered from acuphagia (the compulsion to eat sharp metal objects). Edwardsville Intelligencer – July 31, 1956
