    Is there a decimal point missing? 1.65 lbs / min average is blistering.

    Let’s see, that figures to about 400+ HDB in 40 min. If he eat consistently for 40 min that would be no less than 100+ in ten min. Is there a Nathans outlet in Rwanda? Is he by chance the # 4 ranked eater?

    I like his attitude that CE is a sport.

    The “CE is a sport” theme was gold. But how seriously will anyone take the article? 🙁
