Man Addicted To Tuna Fish Wears Its Juice As Cologne, Eats 15 Cans A Week https://ift.tt/FfxntNh A US man has admitted to having such an intense addiction to the act of smelling, consuming, and even sipping from cans of tuna that it has led him to consume a staggering 15 cans on a weekly basis. Referred to as 'Tuna Tyler' and hailing from Lawrence, Kansas, he made an appearance on an episode of the television program "My Strange Addiction: Still Addicted?" broadcast on the TLC network in the United States. During his appearance, he discussed his obsession with canned fish. According to a report by The New York Post,  Mr Tyler has taken his obsession to the extent of even using its juice as a form of cologne. "I love smelling tuna every day, all the time, all night, any day, every day," states the fish enthusiast. "He's always liked fish. When he was little and most kids during Easter want chocolate in their baskets and things like that, he didn't eat the chocolate, so we put tuna and cans of sardines because he liked that," said Mr Tyler's mother, Ursula. "I didn't think it would turn into, you know, where he was smelling it and keeping it and being addicted to it now," his mother added. In a video excerpt from the TV show shared on YouTube, Tyler is seen seated at a coffee shop. He retrieves a small can of tuna and a can opener from his pocket. Casting furtive glances around, Mr Tyler cautiously pops open the can and deeply inhales the aroma. As he indulges in this peculiar scent ritual, a woman carrying a steaming cup of coffee approaches him. Instead of sipping her beverage, Mr Tyler once again takes in the scent of tuna, drawing the attention of the curious coffee shop crew around him. "They call me Tuna Tyler, and I'm addicted to smelling tuna. When people see me smelling tuna out in public, you know, they might think it's a little bit different, for sure. It might look weird to other people, but to me, I think it's perfectly fine," he said. https://ift.tt/L6Gn8vz August 09, 2023 at 09:24AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com

Google Doodle Celebrates Hamida Banu, India's First Woman Wrestler https://ift.tt/KOXLQAN Today, Google is celebrating India's first professional woman wrestler Hamida Banu. The doodle, illustrated by Bangalore-based artist Divya Negi, depicts Ms Banu surrounded by local flora and fauna. It also serves as a reminder of a female's entry into a sport that was dominated by males in the 1940s and 50s. "This Doodle celebrates Indian wrestler Hamida Banu, who is widely considered to be India's first professional woman wrestler," the Google Doodle description read.  Why is Google honouring Hamida Banu today?  Hamida Banu, widely considered to be India's first woman wrestler, was born in the early 1900s near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. In her career spanning the 1940s and 1950s, Ms Banu won more than 300 competitions.  May 4 was chosen as the date to honour Ms Banu because it was on this day in 1954 that she challenged and defeated famed wrestler Baba Pahalwan. He retired from professional wrestling after that. "On this day in 1954, the wrestling match that earned Banu international recognition and acclaim was reported - she had defeated famed wrestler Baba Pahalwan, in just 1 minute and 34 seconds, after which the latter retired from professional wrestling," Google wrote in the description of the doodle.  About Hamida Banu  Hamida Banu was born into a family of wrestlers in the early 1900s near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. She entered into wrestling at a time when women's participation in athletics was strongly discouraged by prevalent social norms. However, Ms Banu was "passionate and she competed with men anyway, issuing an open challenge to all male wrestlers and wagering her hand in marriage to the first to defeat her," as per Google.  Ms Banu's career even extended into the international arena, where she won against a Russian woman wrestler Vera Chistilin in less than two minutes. "Her name appeared in newspaper headlines for years, and she became known as the "Amazon of Aligarh." The bouts she won, her diet, and her training regimen were widely covered," Google wrote.  Also Read | What Is 'Star Wars' Day? Why Is It Celebrated On May 4? Here's Everything To Know "Hamida Banu was a trailblazer of her time, and her fearlessness is remembered throughout India and across the world. Outside of her sporting accomplishments, she will always be celebrated for staying true to herself," it added.  Speaking about today's doodle, artist Divya Negi said she was inspired by Hamida Banu's fight against conservative norms of the day. "I delved into Hamida's world during my doodle research. It was inspiring to learn that she fought fiercely against the conservative norms of her time. Going against groupthink is one of the hardest things one can do, and being a woman adds another level of complexity to it. Despite that, Hamida powered through and won," she said. https://ift.tt/m51kach May 04, 2024 at 09:34AM NDTV News-Offbeat https://www.ndtv.com
