Quote(The) man, was "the life of the party," stuffing handfuls of insects into his mouth with about 30 other contestants vying for the grand prize of a python at the Ben Siegel Reptile Store, Broward Sheriff's investigators said.Shortly after the contest was over, Archbold wasn't feeling well and began to regurgitate. He collapsed outside the store and later died at a hospital, investigators said.

Mmmm, roach regurgitation from a dying man. Sounds like the start of a new contest ...

I am shocked that a roach-eating contest ended poorly.

Woot, I like winning things.  :)

They ate roaches to get a lousy snake?

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

Did he win?

Yup.

It sure would suck to die after eating roaches in a roach-eating contest - and come in second:(

Hopefully they clean him out good enough so roaches don't boil out of him during the funeral from the eggs hatching and heating their way through his corpse.

Presumably, it will form part of the dead guy's estate.

Meaning, the lawyers will get it.  ;)
