Yay! In September 2013, Francesco Isella became the first baby to be born in Lissa, Italy, and 67 years! Joel Miggler of Kussaberg, Germany, has more stretched facial piercings than anyone else in the world- the two in his cheeks measure 36 MM! A vulture's stomach acid is strong enough to destroy diseases like anthrax and cholera.

Congratulazioni, Francesco. As for Joel, I saw him either a “Ripley’s” book or 2016 Guinness World Records book in the book section at my local Fred Meyer.

Wouldn’t want to sit across the table from him at mealtime. Mashed potatoes and gravy…

Joel looks like a walking advertisement, or better indictment, of Ecstasy. I have seen Swiss Cheese with fewer holes.

Would be nice it the editor got his/her facts right, Francesco Isella was born in Lissa di San Pietro, a tiny village in Varaese Ligure, in Italy.

Who’d’ve thought that vulture stomach acid WOULDN’T be the grossest part of today’s RBIoN?

Some people may freak out over vultures, but nature’s clean-up crew is so necessary. I think king vultures are rather pretty. Definitely colorful.

Yea, there is some sloppy fact checking sometimes.I wonder how these people pay for the piercings and tattoos.I see people on welfare with them. But I dunno, I sometimes wonder. I know a family where the husband doesn’t work. “Disabled”, but he can’t find a doctor to declare him unable to work. The Mom works a minimum wage job. They buy $300 sunglasses, no not a typo there, nearly every year because they don’t last. The coating peels off the lenses. Because they are “cool.”

Gives a new meaning to “he’s got a hole in his head” I’d like to recommend 1 more…

Hope that the Joel Miggler facial piercings never become something in demand here, resulting in a Body Arts kiosk offering such services, or at least information on how to get such services right in this country. Big wooden earrings on a male employee there are okay.

Hey Joel… Everybody who sees you says “ew!” and then says “what a freak”.
