A Tunisian man died after eating 28 raw eggs in one go for a bet.

Dhaou Fatnassi, 20, allegedly wagered a friend he could eat 30 raw eggs in a row, for which he would receive an undisclosed sum.

Mr Fatnassi, from Kairouan in north-east Tunisia, managed 28 eggs before he collapsed with severe stomach pains.

What a weird bet. I wonder who egged him on? I wonder how much money was going to be shelled out? I bet the guy that challenged him scrambled away quickly to avoid the police.

The good die young!

[halfright]

you beat me to it.....28...hell, Luke my boy, can do a lot more that 28 :) Shakin’ the bushes, boss
Classic movie...

Doctors scrambled to save the victim, who, friends say, was always on a sunny side and a good egg.

The internet is a strange place.

But that’s a neat tip!

“I’m left wondering what the heck it was that killed him.”

Probably upset the delicate balance of electroltyes in his system.

[hinckley buzzard]

Yeah but he ate fifty of 'em. Paul Newman still rocks.

“Bad eggs, kid, bad eggs”.

From a commercial for a book. How appropriate.

Nobody can eat 50 eggs.

I can.

[haffast]

Did he remove the shells or did he just swallow them whole?

There is an investigation underway, don't know:

- if alcohol involved
- size of eggs
- size of young man
- exploding golf balls?
- protestor at US embassy
- thing to do when bored in Tunisia

But this man ate shells and all

You tipped our hands, we coulda made some money, and gotten caviar or tobiko to boot!

The CDC reports that of the 1.2 million cases (samonella)each year, only about 400 are fatal.

.03 percent of the 69 billion eggs produced every year contain salmonella.

The odds were in your favor! Glad you survived!

St. Peter; And what happened to you my son?...

Idiot; I ate 28 raw eggs and croaked..

St. Peter; I see..... you thought Salmonella was a Fish Dip.. PITY...

I'm left wondering what the heck it was that killed him. I can't imagine food poisoning or salmonella kicking in so quickly.

Allergy to uncooked egg protein? Whatever, at least now we know what the LD50 is for eggs.

Wide open bet. - didn’t say chicken eggs
Now if it was 30 hummingbird eggs ok
30 ostrich not so easy

HOLD MUH BEER AND WATCH THIS!!!!!

I ate raw eggs in high school because I wanted to be like Rocky and Schwarzenneger....Nothing ever happened.

so you aren't like them, so eggs are the answer against liberalism!

So the guy who died couldn't do it. The best is - he died a RINO.

“I’m left wondering what the heck it was that killed him. I can’t imagine food poisoning or salmonella kicking in so quickly.”

The answer is cholesterol poisoning. It takes time for the body to process cholesterol into the chemicals that it needs, steroids and hormones. Eggs contain a high amount of cholesterol. I remember calculating back in microbiology, when we learned about this, that if a person ate somewhere around 25-30 eggs within the span of an hour, they would overwhelm the ability of the body to process the cholesterol, and would die from the toxicity.

That was cute. Now I have that tune stuck in my head.
