How much Pizza can you eat at once?
New York’s Sal Carbone seems to be a pizza eating machine. Brooklyn organizers of the pizza eating contest state that Sal wolfed down just a bit more than 15 slices beating his own record of 15.
The contest is held annually at Rocco’s Pizzeria and Carbone was last years winner as well. The event raises money for the child welfare organization MercyFirst. The contest raised approximately $4000 for MercyFirst this year.
The runner up, William Millender, managed to eat 12 1/4 slices.
There was no word as to whether Carbone kept the slices down or how he felt after stuffing himself full of pizza.

A few months ago a 55 year old woman was about to go into the Virginia Lottery office to cash winning lottery tickets worth $10,000 when she was attacked.
The two men who attacked her are now behind bars. Blake Jordan and Kenneth Marshall, both 22, apparently attacked the woman with a hammer. They’ve been charged with maiming, attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery.
One of the men is apparently a nephew of the 55 year old woman. Isn’t that cold blooded?
Keary Fox, 56, a lottery worker, first hear the woman scream at 1:10 pm so he ran outside and saw Jordan on top of the woman. He put Jordan in a headlock while a customer took the hammer out of his hand. The pair held him until police arrived. Marshall was arrested later in the day.
The woman suffered lacerations to the back of the head. Lucky for her that lottery worker came by when he did or she might have had worse injuries or perhaps even have been murdered.

Get this … U.S. Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner who already happens to be a millionaire and is heir to the Kimberly-Clark fortune has been having a lucky streak.
Back in 1997 he hit it big when he purchased a ticket for the District of Columbia Lottery. He won $250,000. As if his millions and a lucky lottery win wasn’t enough, last spring he ended up winning $1000 in the Wisconsin lottery, then he won yet another $1000 in the same lottery a few days ago.
“I got lucky,” Sensenbrenner said.
Sensenbrenner, 64, was born into a family that helped build Kimberly-Clark Corp., maker of Kleenex tissue and Scott paper towels, and he recently reported a net worth of about $11.6 million. He said he spends about $10 a week on lottery tickets.
