Ja, lidt mærkelig overskrift. Men det er sandt. Chen, en gammel kineser, har drukket benzin i 42 år, dvs. siden 1969. Han anslår, at han drikker ca. 3 liter i måneden, og at hans konsumtion fra 1969-2011 løber op i 1.5 ton! Chen har det fysisk godt.
http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/photo/2011 ... 888544.htmGasoline powers vehicles all around the world, but a sick Chinese man has been drinking the sticky liquid for 42 years under the illusion that it can relieve his physical pain.
Chen Dejun, 71, lives by himself in shabby thatched cottage on a hill in Shuijiang township, Nanchuan district of southwest China's Chongqing municipality. The short and bony man said he drinks 3 to 3.5 kilograms of gasoline every month, which he buys from a station at the foot of the hill.
Chen is known locally as a stonecutter and master of weaving bamboo with a good business sense. But he’s also known for his undying love of drinking gasoline.
He developed the habit back in 1969 when he suddenly began coughing and felt pain in his chest. Seeing no progress after trying some medicine, he took up the folk remedy of drinking kerosene, Chongqing Evening News reported.
It turned out to be helpful for him after the first sip, and he since became addicted to kerosene. Then he moved on to gasoline.Hvad skal man sige? Hmmm... jeg prøver med: LOL!
