Where Does She Put It?

I posted something about Sonya Thomas once before (expired link, though). She stands 5 foot 5 inches tall, weighs 105 pounds and goes by the professional name of The Black Widow. And she can eat.

The 105-pound competitive eater who goes by "The Black Widow" bested a dozen beefy rivals Saturday night, scarfing 173 wings in 12 minutes to win the wing-eating contest at the National Buffalo Wing Festival.

"That's 5.17 pounds of wings," said Brian Kahle, spokesman for the annual Labor Day weekend event in the city where Buffalo wings were born.

Thomas, 40, of Alexandria, Va., also held the festival's previous record of 161 wings in 12 minutes, set in 2004.

"She's the crowd favorite," Kahle said. "It was 12 huge guys and her."

She essentially ate the equivalent of 1/20th of her weight in 12 minutes. Good lord. Here's her newly updated website - complete with animated Sonya. Eating, of course.
