Hot diggity! Kobayashi wins third straight Coney Island hot
NEW YORK (AP) - Frankly speaking, it wasn't even close.

For an unprecedented third straight year, rail-thin Takeru "Tsunami" Kobayashi out-gorged the competition Friday in the Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest, downing 44 1/2 dogs and dominating adversaries three times his size.


eww..imagine how many parasites he got from eating that many hot dogs..

Does he have to wait until after the awards ceramony to purge all that stuff, or can he run off to the bathroom immedately when the time limit hits?

I don't really know.. I remember that one of the rules is that you're not allowed to throw up DURING the contest, but you probubly gotta keep em down for a little while..

My friend tells me that the way he eats the hot dogs, he doesn't have to huck them up. He breaks them in half and swallows them whole, which keeps them from being digested when they come out the other end, that's how he stays so skinny. But imagine...

...or don't. Your brain will thank you.
