Man who eats light bulbs

He may not be very bright, but a man from China has admitted that is addicted to eating...light bulbs.

Wang Jun, 52, has munched his way though over a 1,000 glass light bulbs and usually eats about 25 a month, reports The Sun.

He said: "I remember eating my first light bulb when I was 12. I did it as a dare with my friends and actually had quite a nice feeling afterwards. It was very satisfying."

But Wang's family are becoming increasingly alarmed by his strange antics, which cost him his marriage.

Wang added: "My wife actually left me because of it. She said it was too weird. I admit I didn't tell her at first when we got married and I used to munch the light bulbs in secret, but then she caught me and a short while later we separated.

So far, his unusual diet hasn't had any serious health side effects.
