I think bad breath would pale in comparison to other olfactory consequences issuing from that diet.

So you can answer a question I immediately had--wouldn't your breath smell horrible if you only ingested dairy products? And wouldn't that certainly make you lactose intolerant after a certain point? I don't know how they avoided that consequence of so much dairy.

His breath wasn't bad. He was overweight and had some digestion issues, yes. I don't think he was lactose intolerant. It's been a long time since I dated him, and like I said, I didn't date him long (he had lots of control issues, not just food control issues), but I would never have guessed that he had such weird food issues if he hadn't told me. Although it did come up pretty quickly, because have you ever tried going out to eat with someone who will only eat bread and cheese? And nice restaurant don't usually have milk on the beverage list for adults, you know?

I love the comment at the end:

I once wrestled a 1.3cm skink and the damn little bugger nearly beat me, except that it made its fatal mistake by droping its tail at the wrong time giving me the vital break and ultimate victory, otherwise I would have been a goner.

Paraglider survives heights greater than Everest.

QUOTE
"I said, 'I can't do anything,' " she told reporters. " 'It's raining and hailing and I'm still climbing — I'm lost.' "

Officials and Wisnierska's ground team used global positioning and radio equipment to track her altitude as she soared well beyond the 29,000-foot-plus height of Everest, the world's tallest peak. Wenness said she went from 2,500 feet to more than 32,000 feet in about 15 minutes.

She lost consciousness for more than 30 minutes while her glider flew on uncontrolled, sinking and lifting several times, Wenness said.

My all-time favorite news story, from 2001: Crazed cat savages owner

The whole thing is quotable, but here's the gist:

QUOTE
Gerard Daigle, 80, lost a pint of blood and required stitches after his cat Touti [...] launched a frenzied attack after Daigle, who was giving his pet parrot a shower, inadvertently sprayed the cat with water[...] The animal control officer said Daigle was saved by his 81-year-old wife who wrestled the cat away, only to have it turn on her.


"The cat wanted to eat her, too," one newspaper quoted Daigle as saying.

I think the last line nicely sums up the absurdity of the situation:
QUOTE
It is not known why Daigle was giving his parrot a shower.
