Those quirky Texans
by Dave Wilson on Nov.06, 2007, under Uncategorized
Much of the news of the UK that we see over here falls into the category of “Those Quirky Brits” – bicycle polo, chasing cheese down hills, etc. The BBC turns the tables today with a great “Those Quirky Texans” story about a guy breaking his world record for sitting in a bath full of rattlesnakes. I can only assume that the world record was originally his since no-one else is daft enough to want to sit in a bath full of rattlesnakes.
As an interesting side note, the location of this feat, Dublin, TX, is also home to the original Dr. Pepper bottling plant and a place of pilgrimage for many a local soda fan since they still use cane sugar there rather than the ubiquitous high fructose corn syrup that everyone else uses. It does actually taste rather impressively different.
