Now that's an "interesting" behaviour:
| quote: | Chinese Woman Has Been Eating Dirt For 11 Years
(CBS News) BEIJING, China A young Chinese woman is undergoing medical checks in Beijing after reportedly consuming soil for 11 years.
China Central Television reported on Friday that the parents of 18-year-old Baobao brought her from her home in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region to the capital to find out why she enjoyed eating dirt.
Baobao told CCTV that she had developed her dirt-eating habit at the age of seven, consuming soil attached to grass roots.
She said that she now preferred the taste of yellow mud, as it did not contain sand or tree debris.
During the interview, Baobao estimated she had eaten about three tons of soil since she was first stricken by the urge to eat earth.
A doctor told CCTV that the hospital was awaiting results of a series of medical tests to help determine the cause of the girl's taste for dirt.
Baobao's addiction has had serious implications for her neighbour's roof, made from mud which is traditionally used as a weather resistant material.
According to CCTV, the young woman could not stop eating the roof and the neighbour's house is now almost demolished. |

| So like... Did the parents think naming her after onomatopoeia wouldn't affect her mentality, at all? |

That seems to be quite common there though: I know a Chinese girl whose name is "Tan Tan" :p
I'd like to know more about her though, as this is quite unusual. |

| In the Southern US, alot of african american mothers have the urge to eat dirt. Not being racist, because I'm pretty sure it's human nature. |
