Man eats 1,500 lightbulbs 

Wang Xianjun has eaten more than 1,500 light bulbs since he was 12


A Chinese man has eaten more than 1,500 light bulbs since he was aged 12.

Wang Xianjun, 54, of Sichuan Province, started to snack on broken glass because 
he says it is 'crispy and delicious.'

He recalls: "I accidentally swallowed a piece of thick fish bone, but nothing 
happened. With curiosity, I tried several pieces of broken glasses secretly and 
nothing happened also."

>From then on, from time to time Wang would eat a light bulb. "I am not eating 
>it every day, but from time to time. I only eat the light bulb during my 
>breakfast, and each day no more than one bulb."

When eating a light bulb Wang first smashes it before swallowing it piece by 
piece, sipping from a glass of water.

Wang's family said they have taken him to have checkups in the hospital, but it 
would seem that his unusual diet has had no adverse effects
