And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

The Science Behind Hot Dog Eating Contests

Honestly, I've never understood the concept behind Food Eating Contests.  Quite frankly, I think it's rather dumb to shove food down your throat in such a rapid manner.  It's looks disgusting, and it's downright nasty.  Then again, this is just my opinion, so don't get offended if you're the current reigning hot dog champ. If you've never seen the contest, you can catch it every year on ESPN or in person in Coney Island in New York.


From 2001 to 2006, Japanese, Takeru Kobayashi was the champion of Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest, until American, Joey Chestnut, the current winner, took his title away, and he's not about to relinquish it anytime soon.  This is also the first year, women were allowed to compete in their own separate event.  Yesterday, Joey ate 62 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes.  How does he do it, and how is it possible to consume that much food in such a short period of time?  

Well..... ESPN has broken it down for us, and this is how it works...

Very intriguing how even science and anatomy can play a part in something as disgusting as a eating contest. I can see how you could really injure yourself for eating too fast. Like something out of the movie "Seven".
