Exactly. Those of us with critical thinking skills know this whole thing is ridiculous.

Interesting thread... (the things you trip over here...)

Compare cannibalism to the IQ necessary for technical advancement... there's a pretty strong correlation between routine cannibalism and never achieving the wheel, which in turn correlates well with average IQ. Generally speaking, the lower the average IQ, the higher the rate of cannibalism. Until you bottom out at the Australian Abos, in the IQ60 range. D'you know why British settlers took infants away from Abos to "raise like white folks"?? Wasn't what you think. It was because the Abos were eating their own children; some tribes traditionally ate all firstborns shortly after birth, because they believed it made them strong. This was documented, by sympathetic anthropologists, as late as 1910. (I won't link to it, because it's nasty stuff, but you can find it easily enough.)

Adds a whole new meaning to... "Why don't you come over to my house for dinner tonight?"

I vaguely recall that the rumors started from reports about a fancy Hollywood Halloween party, which in the usual way of Halloween parties, featured all sorts of corpse and graveyard imagery, dressing up and pretending to be ghouls, appetizers masquerading as body parts, etc. etc. (A friend threw such a party and served us Twinkies decorated as "fingers". It was creepy and hilarious.) When you have lots of money, you can hire a caterer who can make it look really convincing, because after all the point is for everything to look as creepy as possible for Halloween!

Yeah, Twinkies are definitely way too sweet.

I'd probably try it if it meant I live another day or two I would, I've ate about 80% of the critters that fly, crawl,slither and walk in the U.S. and a few other countries.
