    Taiwan student dies during fast food binge

    Fri Oct 24, 1:55 am

    ETTAIPEI (Reuters Life!) – A man died just as he was about to win a university binge eating contest in Taiwan, scoffing down two buns filled with rice and cheese as well as some of his teammate's food, the college said on Friday.

    The 23-year-old, described as tall and strong, vomited relentlessly, passed out and died on Thursday during the "Big Stomach King" contest at Dayeh University in central Taiwan. He had pulled ahead of 30 other teams.

    "I can't say why he died," said Huang Te-hsiang, the university's dean of student affairs. "He had been in the contest before. He was a strong guy."

    The graduate student, surnamed Chen, may have eaten too fast rather than too much, a campus publicist said. Chen was on course to win the five-year-old annual competition, she said. He would have won T$2,000 ($60).

    Taiwan's education ministry has halted campus-based eating contests while an investigation is launched.

    World's heaviest man marries in Mexico

    By MARK WALSH, Associated Press Writer

    MONTERREY, Mexico – The world's heaviest man has tied the knot. Manuel Uribe, who hasn't left his bed in six years, married his longtime girlfriend Claudia Solis Sunday in northern Mexico.

    Wearing a white silk shirt with a sheet wrapped around his legs, Uribe smiled as Solis, 38, walked down a flight of stairs wearing a strapless ivory dress, a tiara and hot-pink lipstick.

    He later broke into tears as a notary declared the couple husband and wife in a civil ceremony attended by more than 400 guests. For the traditional first dance as newlyweds, Uribe and Solis held hands and swayed to a romantic ballad.

    A popular local norteno band played accordion-heavy tunes at the reception, which featured a banquet of meat and buttered vegetables.

    Uribe's mother, Orquedia Garza, said the groom steered clear of the five-tier wedding cake.

    "He didn't break his diet," she told The Associated Press. "His doctors are here and they are watching him very closely."

    The wedding, which was closed to most media, will be featured in an upcoming Discovery Channel documentary on Uribe, the 43-year-old former mechanic said.

    "I have a wife and will form a new family and live a happy life," Uribe told hordes of reporters earlier as they followed him through the streets of Monterrey.

    A flatbed truck was brought in to tow his custom-made bed decorated with a canopy, flowers and gold-trimmed bows to the wedding at a local event hall. Two police patrol cars escorted him ahead of a long line of traffic.

    Uribe tipped the scales in 2006 at 1,230 pounds (560 kilograms), earning him the Guinness World Record as the world's heaviest man.

    He has since shed about 550 pounds (250 kilograms) with the help of Solis, whom he met four years ago.

    Uribe said he's gunning for a new title: world's greatest weight loser.

    Teen changes his name to Captain Fantastic and so on
    by Sandy Maple Nov 3rd 2008 2:00PM

    Captain Fantastic Faster Than Superman Spiderman Batman Wolverine Hulk And The Flash Combined is a nineteen year old boy living in Glastonbury, Somerset, UK. Obviously, he was not born with that name. The former George Garratt legally changed his name last week because he "wanted to be unique."

    At 81 letters, it is thought to be the longest name in the world. And, in my opinion, one of the most ridiculous. Captain Fantastic's granny does not approve and, according to him, has quit speaking to him since the name change.

    The photo accompanying this story shows Mr. Fantastic (is that what we should call him?) grinning madly as he shows off a sign bearing his new name. He thinks his name is 'crazy' and I can't argue with that. But I wonder if he ever plans on getting a grown-up job or finding a mate or having children. Who would take a man with a comic book name seriously? And is having such a unique and crazy name worth alienating your own grandma?
