Glass-eater seeks high-paying job
( 2003-09-15 17:07) (China Daily)
A young man visited the offices of the Shanghai Morning Post saying he wanted
to find a job paying at least 10,000 yuan (US$1,200) a month for his very
special skill - eating glass - the paper reports.
As a sort of "audition", Wang opened a bottle of beer by biting it off at the
neck in front of the reporters and then chewed up every last bit of glass.
He said he was looking for a job where his talent would be appreciated, and
he wanted to apply for a Guinness World record as well.
After calling several employment agencies, however, the paper learned that
eating glass was not so amazing after all.
In Nanjing alone, at least a dozen people are listed as being able to eat
light bulbs and even swallow knives.
