it may be worth mentioning that eating brains could actually carry a health warning.

Eating brains or low grade meat/offal likely contain brains can be dangerous. Brains are the most likely place to find the proteins called Prions which inturn cause the disease called Scrapie in sheep, BSE (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy)in cattle (Mad Cow disease) and CJD (Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease) in Humans.

In fact the prion disease known as Kuru has been linked with cannabalism in New Guinea. Another horrible disease linked to Prions is Fatal familial insomnia in this the sufferer eventually dies through lack of sleep after around 7 to 18 months.

As monkeys are primates the cross over of there Prions to Humans disease is quite likely.

should have search here first...

How's this one coming swl?

yes, c'mon - you're leaving a fairly large readership undisturbed on account of your complacency. Think of how many people will splurt tea onto their computer screens when this reaches the front page - you really owe it to them.

I'm surprised you don't mention oysters. That's also something which is eaten alive (when it is eaten at all, that is ).

Really?

Unless you cook them, of course.

Ok, suggestions and useful facts incorporated.

And I've even met the Eds demands for a "link..link!"

There's also a disclaimer for the faint-hearted!!

The phantom yikeser strikes again.

Well you shouldn't write things that aren't about fairies and rainbows and glitter and kittens should you??

You sick sick creature!

He did write about kittens, didn't he?

Kittens and mummies

But where's the glitter? Hmm?

You can dunk the in golden paint?

That's animal cruelty! Where's the Yikeser??

Why, do you think the yikeser has a brain?

Note for lurkers: One should never paint one's pussy. Shaving or skinning is ok though.

Oh for Bob's sake... I can't think of anything Yikesable in the Entry... especially with the addition of a disclaimer.
