Thats a bad analogy since chiken bones are hollow,like the bones of any bird,and therefore rather fragile.

Man Downs 173 Chicken Wings to Win Contest

Feb 3, 8:44 PM (ET)

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A 22-year-old from San Jose, Calif., won Wing Bowl on Friday by setting a new record at the annual chicken wing-eating contest. Joey Chestnut ate 173 wings to take the title and top prize, a 2006 Suzuki Grand Vitara.

As usual, the 14th annual Wing Bowl was replete with thousands of beer-crazed fans, piles of saucy wings, dozens of scantily clad "Wingettes" - many of them strippers - and several sickened contestants.

This year's version of the contest, sponsored by sports-talk station WIP-AM, included only competitors who had never before competed in Wing Bowl.

Chestnut qualified for the sold-out event by downing a gallon of milk in 41 seconds.

Hey check this out! Some says that America was responible for the trouble between the middle east, scandinavia and the rest of europe about the Muhammed caricature pictures. Like an diversion to make islamists hate europe more than america. If true, what a cunning, sly little move Pentagon did, shame on you!:disagree: They really had to use scapegoats like us scandinavians and europeans to draw away attention for their past mistakes, it sickens me :ill: :grumpy:

Yeat again if this is true, america have really fallen far :rolleyes:
The politicians and the government over there sickens me even more :ill: Are they cowards to face the problems made by themself back in 2001 when their forces tried to take control over Iraq?

I don't read Norwegian so I can't comment on the second article, but the first article has nothing to do with the Danish cartoon, so I have no idea where you are pulling this from. It's conspiracy theory at its best.

@ Daemian: I've asked. We're working on it. But my point was especially that large pictures and even entire posts are repeated...

From what I gathered from the Norwegian article, it expressed surprise at the reactions that the danish cartoons got the response it got, especiaqlly when compared to that the US has been occupying two islamic countries and still don't get that kind of reactions, and then went on with the conspiracy theories.

Well we all know that if the Danes make fun of a religion in a cartoon it means that they want to exterminate it, while the US only invades other countries because they're bored.

Super Bowl fireworks plan misfires; car blown up instead

Associated Press
Feb. 8, 2006 08:40 AM


SHERIDAN, Colo. - The Super Bowl turned out to be a blast for a Colorado couple, but not the way they figured it.

According to authorities, Norman Frey and his girlfriend planned to set off some homemade fireworks at a Super Bowl party Sunday.

Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson says the couple blew up their car while transporting a balloon filled with explosive gas. Robinson says it's amazing they weren't killed.

The balloon contained acetylene, the gas used in welding torches. Robinson says static electricity may have set off the explosion.

Both the man and woman suffered busted eardrums. Frey now faces a felony explosives charge, but his girlfriend won't be prosecuted.
