    Ha ha, I had a friend who took a thumbprint of lsd and was eating handfuls of sand!
    This is a banana slug:

    They exude shitloads of mucus as a defense when being attacked or eaten.

    Strangest thing I think I've ever ingested would probably be bull testicles. Not as bad as I thought they would be, but I don't see myself eating them again anytime in the near future.

    LAMB FRIES! My biological father tricked me into trying them. And while I was chewing, he told me what they were...But I liked it.

    Lamb fries with lemon juice and a bit of salt are wonderful! It's about the only fried food that's not made better with ranch dressing! :eek:

    LOL, friends of mine tried to trick me into eating it, 'cept I quickly realised what 'Rocky Mountain Oysters' were and I went ahead and ordered them, which kinda freaked them out. ;) They were good, too... they don't serve 'm here (Netherlands) but I would eat them again if they did. Unless they'd have something stranger on the menu that I could order...

    Just in case I ever end up going out to dinner with any of y'all -no need to trick me into anything, I love trying new stuff when it comes to food and I'm not easily grossed out. :)

    Cannibal 'will not kill again'
    Armin Meiwes
    Armin Meiwes has confessed to killing his victim
    Self-confessed German cannibal Armin Meiwes regrets the killing and will never repeat it, he has told his trial in a closing statement.

    Earlier, prosecutors said he should spend his life behind bars for killing and eating his 43-year-old victim.

    Mr Meiwes admits killing and eating Bernd-Juergen Brandes, but says it was "killing on demand", not murder.

    "I regret it all very much, but I can't undo it," he told the court, insisting that Mr Brandes had chosen to die.


    He slaughtered his victim like a piece of livestock and treated him as an object of his fancy
    Prosecutor Marcus Koehler
    Mr Meiwes' defence lawyer, Harald Ermel, said it was a form of mercy killing - because Mr Brandes had given his consent to be killed and eaten.

    That should carry a maximum five-year prison sentence, he said.

    But prosecutor Marcus Koehler, in his closing argument, said Mr Meiwes, 42, killed for sexual pleasure and should be locked up for life.

    "He slaughtered his victim like a piece of livestock and treated him as an object of his fancy," he said.

    Global interest

    The gruesome details of the trial have attracted interest from around the world.

    When it opened, Mr Meiwes confessed in detail to the killing at his home in the town of Rotenberg.

    Bernd-Juergen Brandes
    Brandes "asked to be stabbed to death," according to Meiwes
    He said Mr Brandes, who had travelled from Berlin after the two met on the internet, wanted to be stabbed to death after drinking a bottle of cold medicine to lose consciousness.

    A doctor told the court that Mr Brandes died from loss of blood and that the medication, along with a half-bottle of alcohol and 20 sleeping pills he took beforehand, could not have lessened his pain.

    Police tracked Mr Meiwes down in December 2002 after being alerted to an advertisement he had placed on the internet for a man willing to be killed, carved up and eaten.

    Mr Koehler said Mr Meiwes was not interested in the needs or desires of his victim and that Mr Brandes' willingness to die had only provided the accused with an opportunity to carry out his long-held cannibal fantasy.

    Mr Meiwes has admitted being sexually aroused by the process of preparing his victim.

    Last week a second expert told the court that Mr Meiwes was "fully fit for trial and not mentally ill".

    A verdict is expected on Friday.

    Cannibalism is not a crime under the German constitution, but the crime of murder carries a minimum 15-year prison sentence.
