Your friend's brother's friend's aunt? Hmm, sounds a little fishy if it's 4-degrees removed from you, but I'll try to pretend it's a serious claim...
The most likely thing to happen if you force-feed yourself beyond your stomach's capacity to stretch is you'll vomit (it happened to me once when I was younger and foolish enough to try!)
I have heard of people who have had gastric bypass surgery tearing through the stitches in their reduced stomach with obviously bad results. And I suppose that if there was a weak area in your stomach it is possible that it could tear under the pressure of force-feeding and leak stomach contents into the abdomen, also with obviously bad results.
But in terms of "exploding" in the sense that the body will burst open like an over-cooked hotdog? That's not possible.

Yes.
OH GOD! You brought back terrible memories...I know you didn't mean to though.
My grandmother ate at a Chinese Restaraunt....she ate quite a bit of spicy food and got very bad, foul smelling gas.
Well when she got home her shoes must have dragged on the shaggy carpet in her apartment building because when she touched her doorknob she got a carpet shock and the electricity went through her and ignited the gas in her tummy and she exploded....
I miss you grams.

a human being can actually explode if they are floating in space with out a spacesuit. . . if you wanted to know
um you CANT explode from eating too much, you would probably die from diabetes or heart attack due to the large calorie intake
it is clear this person was joking with you

Well I'm sure it's possible to rupture your stomach if you eat too much, but you wouldnt literally explode into little chunks.
And yes, I'm pretty sure that would kill you.

for someones actual skin to start tearing open i would hardly think so i figured if she was dead and left out in the summer heat yeah maybe then she would explode.

yes it is true. you're stomach holds like 1.3 gallons or something. i read it in Stiff by mary roach. and they did the expirement on a human cadaver (that means dead person). i don't think that stories really resonable at all. .
i bet you'd throw up first.

I would say no...the human body has a couple of different ways to expel gas so you won't blow up.
Now if you're dead, that's a different story.
