This man is out of his mind 16 Madagaskar hissing cockroaches in his mouth to break a Guinness world record. EWWWW! I know in some parts of the world eating bugs is "normal" weather they be fried or dipped in chocolate... BUT NOT IN MY BOOK! I knew a kid in grade school that supposidly ate worms, but I don't recall seeing him do it or if kids were just saying it to be mean at the time. After all that was in the 80's, so who knows. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33470127/ns/us_news-weird_news/

Hello 3SnuggleBunnies this is checkmail and do know that in some part of world some rare peoples eats up this insects and bugs as food.But according to me they are blood sucking parasites, which only harms us, in order to feed themselves.Even there is sprea of virus through them.Voluntarily not even accidently eat out a bug specially after bitten several times by it and also knowing its Bio.

I once saw a film, years and years ago, where, in the Amazon, they cooked red ants and ate them. You saw a native Indian eating these ants with some of them crawling out of his mouth and he getting bitten with swollen lips and all that. Eating bugs is not a particularily big deal. Most of them are just protein and not much at that. As far as I know.

That is disgusting and I actually found it quite difficult to read your post without feeling really sick. I can't see why anyone would want to break a Guinness world record in that anyway - I suppose some people would do anything to have a bit of fame, I personally think the guy is mad.

I would never! Ewww...especially the hissing cucarachas! LOL World record? Maybe not-I saw on Ripley's believe it or not-there's some guy that eats them and that's all he eats, he claims they're healthy...and has actually filed his teeth like vampire teeth to "crunch them" Eww...gross! Some people have odd tastes!

No, I would definitely not do it. I wouldn't think of doing it. They're filled with bacteria. At least, many of them are. It was his decision to eat these cockroaches. However, it's not a decision that I would make.

hi snuggle bunnies, absolutely never. My son ate one by accident recently, a smelly green bug, and it reportedly tasted vile.

I'm not afraid of bugs, however I have no desire to eat any either. There are many cultures who consider it normal, and I might be inclined to try it if I were visiting a foreign nation. I have never been the kind to shy away from trying new things. My one unmovable condition is that I will not eat a live bug, just as I will not eat a live cow.
