When Life Takes On Art,

you may remember the film,


Cool Hand Luke, in the film Cool Hand bets he can eat 50 hard boiled eggs in an hour, 

well here is a tip, do not try this in real life! a 42-year-old man in India’s Uttar Pradesh state lost his life trying to eat 50 boiled eggs in one go, as part of a stupid bet he made with a friend, on Monday, November 3rd, Subhash Yadav, 42, and a friend sat down to at get a bite to eat at the Bibiganj market in  the Jaunpur district, at one point, the pair began to argue and as their conflict escalated Yadav bet his friend 2,000 rupees (about $28) that he could eat 50 boiled eggs right then and there. His friend accepted, so they bought 50 eggs from a vendor and Yadav set out to down them one by one. Everything was going well and he was actually making good time, but as he popped the 42nd egg into his mouth, he suddenly fell unconscious, alarmed locals rushed Subhash Yadav to a district hospital, but despite doctors’ best efforts to bring him back, he never regained consciousness and was eventually pronounced dead. The exact cause of death hasn’t been announced, but doctors attribute it to overeating, condolences to the family, I have always believed that although this was not official, there should be no such thing as eating contests, just my view but there it is.
