| Troutbreath User Info... | You know, you would think that at least one genius at the RCMP headquarters investigating Robert Picton would have seen a production of Sweeny Todd. Another reason for a well rounded Arts education. - Mon, 22 Mar 2004 5:41am | ||

| Broccoli User Info... | Bah, we all eat human remains. Its just a matter of how many vectors and chemical alterations they have gone through before we get them back. Been meaning to try some staight up.... I think I missed my best chance when I didn't push that kid into the hamburger grinder he was cleaning... - Tue, 30 Mar 2004 8:29pm | ||

| _Griphin_ User Info... | Cannibalism is not a pretty sight. I've heard that after awhile, your brain starts eating itself and you die a very painful death or something like that. From a quick search on Google about Cannibalism: The Easter Islanders' cannibalism was not exclusively a religious rite or the expression of an urge for revenge: it was also induced by a simple liking for human flesh that could impel a man to kill for no other reason than his desire for fresh meat. (Man was the only large mammal whose flesh was available) Women and children were the principal victims of these inveterate cannibals. The reprisals that followed such crimes were all the more violent because an act of cannibalism committed against the member of a family was a terrible insult to the whole family. As among the ancient Maoris, those who had taken part in the meal were entitled to show their teeth to the relatives of the victim and say, 'Your flesh has stuck between my teeth'. Such remarks were capable of rousing those to whom they were addressed to a murderous rage not very different from the Maly amok." - Wed, 7 Apr 2004 9:25pm | ||
| Troutbreath User Info... | This whole thing is lurching into the surreal. An animal rights group has come out with a billboard ad campaign. It shows a picture of a young girl beside a picture of a smiling pig with the caption: "We are not meat". Needless to say it's causing some controversy. Adam Sawatsky, the announcer dufus at the NewVI, reported the reason ad companies in Victoria were refusing to place the billboard was "because it was tasteless". We're not sure if he meant the billboard or the meat. - Thu, 8 Apr 2004 5:21am | ||

| KnifeGhost User Info... | Griphin, it's known as "kuru", it's essentially mad cow disease in humans.... Prions, and shit.... I'm too lazy to elaborate..... - Fri, 9 Apr 2004 12:01am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | What is Kuru? Kuru is a rare and fatal brain disorder that occurred at epidemic levels during the 1950s-60s among the Fore people in the highlands of New Guinea. The disease was the result of the practice of ritualistic cannibalism among the Fore, in which relatives prepared and consumed the tissues (including brain) of deceased family members. Brain tissue from individuals with kuru was highly infectious, and the disease was transmitted either through eating or by contact with open sores or wounds. Government discouragement of the practice of cannibalism led to a continuing decline in the disease, which has now mostly disappeared. Kuru belongs to a class of infectious diseases called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs), also known as prion diseases. The hallmark of a TSE disease is misshapen protein molecules that clump together and accumulate in brain tissue. Scientists believe that misshapen prion proteins have the ability to change their shape and cause other proteins of the same type to also change shape. Other TSEs include Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and fatal familial insomnia in humans, bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle (also known as mad cow disease), scrapie in sheep and goats, and chronic wasting disease in deer and elk. --- Kuru sounds like an awesome name to give a band :) And hey, what do ya know... http://www.kurumusic.com - Fri, 9 Apr 2004 3:50pm | ||
| Broccoli User Info... | Ah yes.... the prions. Not really a self replicating protein: they cause misfolding of the normal form, which begets more misfolding etc. However, such cannibalistic contamination can be avoided my cooking your victims thoroughly... It takes a very large exposure to get infected anyway, as most malformed prions you might encounter would be degraded by your digestive system and not absorbed, so you would have to be eating the raw brains of someone already heavily inflicted by the disease. - Sat, 10 Apr 2004 12:52am | ||
