Everything is made with bodily secretions from China. If anyone knows how to cook with urine or smoke cattle dung, it's the Chinese.

Morarji Desai, a prime minister of India, recommended that everyone drink his own urine as a health measure.


No joke. "You could look it up," as Casey Stengel used to say.

Well, not all hope is lost. At least there is a voice of sensibility in China


, but Doctor Huang Jian, from the Central Hospital in Jinhua believes “that urine is waste expelled from human body and basically contains no substance conducive to human health.”

I would urge people over there to listen to Dr. Jian. He speaks words of wisdom.

I have often wondered when really freaky shit like this hits my radar, just exactly who the hell was the first human being that thought this sounded like a good idea.

I don't know, Tom. Let's find an old toad licker and ask them.
Who decided that an ugly blue corn fungus was edible? Starving Mexicans.

How about things that are only edible after a complex preparation, such as olives? Or rhubarb--most of the plant is poisonous except for the stalks. Who figured that out first?

Is that the same as the stuff that infects corn?

Someone who tried to poison somebody and failed.

This stuff grows along lake and riverbanks by the ton around here in summer.

Right you are, Socrates.

Hello.

Cannabis grows wild around here.
In fact there are sections of the highway that need to be mowed every month to keep the stuff down.
For a while the sheriffs office was spraying diesel fuel on the plants but the EPA stopped that.
They set some of it on fire and it ended up burning several houses down so that is out of the question.
But, South Texas and dope, no wonder Willie likes this place! ;)

Never knew that about rhubarb. As kids we'd just pick a leaf and stalk and eat the red stalk. It was reallly good just picked off the plant. But nobody told us to be careful with it and not eat any other parts of the plant.

But then....we didn't wear seatbelts, didn't wear a nerd hat....er...helmet when we rode a bike, ate dirt...etc...etc....ect. Soccer Moms hadn't been invented yet.

Cannibis grows like a weed almost anywhere, and is very, very gentle to the soil. Just another indication that Mother Nature did NOT intend for it to be so cursed by uninformed people.

From Wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhubarb)



Rhubarb leaves contain poisonous substances, including oxalic acid which is a nephrotoxic and corrosive acid that is present in many plants. The LD50 (median lethal dose) for pure oxalic acid in rats is about 375 mg/kg body weight,[15] or about 25 grams for a 65 kg (~140 lb) human. While the oxalic acid content of rhubarb leaves can vary, a typical value is about 0.5%,[16] so a rather unlikely 5 kg of the extremely sour leaves would have to be consumed to reach an LD50 of oxalic acid. Cooking the leaves with soda can make them more poisonous by producing soluble oxalates.[17] However, the leaves are believed to also contain an additional, unidentified toxin,[18] which might be an anthraquinone glycoside (also known as senna glycosides).[19]

In the petioles, the amount of oxalic acid is much lower, only about 2-2.5% of the total acidity.[20] This means that the raw stalks may not be hazardous, though they are generally thought to be in the US. The tart taste of raw stalks is so strong as to be unpalatable to many.



Hey!!!! I ate poison as a kid!!!!! I'm cool.
