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.

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.
