Funny, Joe.
Another oddity.
The winner of an insect-eating contest in South Florida collapsed and died shortly after downing dozens of live cockroaches and worms.
6:44AM BST 09 Oct 2012
About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.
Edward Archbold, 32, became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released on Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.
"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches.
"Some people do have allergies to roaches," he said, "but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."
Now, the humor.

Anyone ever read the book Whispers?
