[edit] Copyvio?

A good chunk of this text is ripped straight off of the profile of Joey Chestnut on the IFOCE website. (http://www.ifoce.com/eaters.php?action=detail&sn=106) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.148.79.20 (talk • contribs) 23:10, 4 July 2006

[edit] Gallon challenge

He completed it in 41 minutes, not 41 seconds. 41 seconds is quite impossible. 69.221.211.161 07:22, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HDB

Why is the abbreviation HDB used? Is this some kind of official competitive eating initialism? Badagnani 08:51, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] #1 ranking

Poemisaglock 02:07, 24 July 2007 (UTC) When did Chestnut move ahead of Kobayashi into the #1 ranked competitive eater in the world?
