*shout out to Jello.* <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, every so often I am struck -usually over dinner- about how odd it is I\u2019m eating something, or something I\u2019m eating is actually edible.\u00a0 <\/span>Let\u2019s examine a few:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Coffee: Someone thought it was a good idea to ground up beans (mind you, black, dark beans instead of nice green beans) instead of eating them, and wait, pour water over this ground up soup\u2026, and drink<\/em> it!\u00a0 <\/span>Really?\u00a0 <\/span>A vile, bitter tasting stuff which tastes like licking the bottom of burnt wood?\u00a0 <\/span>Here\u2026, taste this, isn\u2019t this awful?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blow fish:<\/a> Who\u2019s the second person to try this? If you don\u2019t know, blow fish has a deadly nerve toxin.\u00a0 <\/span>I bet the first person didn\u2019t know that.\u00a0 <\/span>Or the second, but really, how hungry do you have to be to keep trying to eat the damn thing?\u00a0 <\/span>Sure, put it on your spear and stab someone. However\u2026, eat it? Really?!<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Still, these are but two examples of things that I find interesting\u2026 the other? Deep fried Twinkies. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Nuff said. <\/span><\/p>\n
