Biting the bark
Bark is worse than any bite. And the more bites you take, the worse the
bark gets. Just ask Indiana State University sophomore Jay Gwaltney, who
ate an 11-foot birch tree to earn $10,000 and the title of crown prince of the
bizarre. "It took three days, but I ate all of it-branches leaves, roots

said. Gwaltney took first prize in Chicago radio station WKQZ's contest to
determine how far people would go to win $10,000. His culinary feat topped
the efforts of two men who dressed as giant tomatoes and sailed down the
Chicago River in a boat disguised as a taco shell, and of another fellow who
buried 101 people in sand at a beach and led them in patriotic songs. Nancy
Reagan, who fell flat on her face a la Chevy Chase at the Republican
National Convention Wednesday night, had not entered the contest. Q

secret to getting a turtle to run in hot weather is all in the feet. "Turtles hate
heat," he explained. "We would not let his feet touch the ground before the
races. We soaked his feet in ice before the finals." Q
