Story 1:  Scientists Have Calculated How Many Hot Dogs a Person Can Eat

Right now, all of the scientists in the world are focusing their collective brain power on figuring out how to beat this pandemic.

Well . . . all of the scientists except this guy.  Instead, he’s calculating how many hot dogs a person can eat in one sitting.

Dr. James Smoliga is a veterinarian and exercise scientist at High Point University in North Carolina.  And he spent months analyzing 39 years of data from the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest to figure out the human capacity for hot dogs.

His answer?  The most hot dogs a person could eat in 10 minutes is 83.

That’s based on our stomach capacity . . . even with the stretched stomach that a competitive eater might have.

Back on July 4th, Joey Chestnut . . . who’s basically the Michael Jordan of competitive eating . . . put down 75 hot dogs and buns in 10 minutes to set a new world record.

So according to the study, he’s only eight hot dogs away from the theoretical limit.

Story 2:  A Couple Having Sex in a Bush Get Spanked by an Angry Old Woman with a Wooden Board

This is definitely not the most ideal threesome.

A couple in Stavropol, Russia decided to have sex in broad daylight recently . . . and someone saw and took a video.  And the video shows an angry old woman interrupting them when she walks up . . . and SPANKS them with a wooden board.

She finally walked away after she was done yelling at the couple and giving the guy one more whack with the board, which left him screaming in pain.

Story 3:  A Guy Is Caught Hoarding Illegal Tarantulas in a Motel Room

There is really NOWHERE sketchier than a cheap motel.

The manager at a motel in Norway, Maine went into a room earlier this week to collect money from a guy named Sean Schoomaker who’d been staying there for 10 days.

And inside the room, he found a ton of cages containing LARGE, HAIRY SPIDERS.

It turns out Sean had hoarded 53 tarantulas in his room . . . and at least three of them were species that are illegal to have in Maine.

Sean was cited for illegal possession of animals.

All of the spiders were transported to a local expert . . . whose business is called Mr. Drew and His Animals Too . . . and Mr. Drew is working on identifying if any of the other tarantulas are illegal species.

Here’s a picture of some of the cages in the motel room, and here’s one of the illegal spiders at Mr. Drew and His Animals Too.
