Just in time for lunch...


...this cheerful report from Philip Bethge on European cannibalism, apparently popular until around 1800: http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitgeist/0,1518,604548,00.html. Evidently, the euros liked a nice dram of crushed brains every now and then just to stay regular or something. Epileptics hung around execution sites to get a hot cup of blood from the recently deceased--it did wonders for the shakes. Gripping stuff.

That's just "gross" according to the young English lass pictured here. She's right.
