I have heard a story about a man who stripped down a car (or possibly plane) into small enought parts to eat and then ate them to prove it was possible. Can anyone verify that this is true or an urban myth?

Yes,I read a story of a man Michel Lotito that ate an airplane!He ate 2 ponds of metal a day,washed down with mineral oil,and gallons of water.He has eaten bicycles,television sets,and even a cessna 150 light aircraft(which took 2 years).Scientists have found that his stomach and intestinal walls are twice as thick as the average person's,while his digestive juices are unusually strong.

I can't find that report, but I would have to say it is impossible to do so and survive. There are a number of toxic chemicals that are used in a car, such as lead in the electronics, Iron and other chemicals, including adhesives and synthetics. If it were possible to break the car down into small enough pieces, and to make them safe enough to eat by removing edges that would cause injury, the breakdown and absorption of chemicals would lead to toxic levels of chemicals quite quickly. An aeroplane would lead to a quite similar fate.

Technically, you can.
I cannot verify that the story is true though. I know that many years ago, a man had a large bicycle cut up into enough small pieces and swallowed them all over a period of something like a month. That story aired on a show (U.S.) called 'That's Incredible'. If it wasn't that show, then it was either 'Real People' or 'Ripley's Believe it or Not'.

I do remember watching something on TV about a man who ate a bicycle a few years ago but whether this was real or not i don't know. You'd need some strong teeth to start off and a strong stomach never mind bowels LOL.

OK, the whole car? I'm sure people have eaten metal and other horrible, indegistable objects, but a whole plane? It takes a GREAT length of time to eat a cow, let alone a plane... So, maybe it is possible but it would take a number of ages to do so

True, his name is Michael Lotito. AKA Monseiur Mangetout.

Well, Corporeal Klinger tried it once on M*A*S*H, trying to get out of the Army on a Section 8. But that WAS on TV.

that could be a 5-hour force to the subsequent city from the place I stay, so which you relatively haven't any decision yet to devour on your motor vehicle while you're using up right here. i attempt to maintain it as sparkling as attainable, whether it does make issues a splash messier.
