Yes, a Frenchman named Michel Lotito, also known as "Monsieur Mangetout," gained fame for his unusual ability to eat non-food items, including glass and metal, starting in the late 1950s. He consumed various materials and was known for his performances, where he would eat bicycles, televisions, and other metallic objects. Lotito's unique practice was attributed to a rare condition that allowed him to ingest these items without harm. He continued this unusual diet until his death in 2007.

The metal the french horn is made of would be a homogeneous mixture, since you can't distinctively tell the different types of metals within the final metal mixture.

Is glass denser than metal?

Glass is generally less dense than most metals. The density of glass typically ranges from 2.2 to 2.8 g/cm³, while metals such as iron have densities around 7.9 g/cm³. However, there are exceptions, as some metals like lithium and sodium have lower densities than certain types of glass. Overall, metals tend to be denser than glass due to the arrangement of atoms and the presence of metallic bonds.
