BRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNSSSSSSS!

/It had to be done.

That opening sentence needed to include a mention of lesbians to be pretty much everything I would want from life, ever.

/it has been learnt

Farked already.

The Hwange Colliery Company's Risk and Control department which comprises the coal mining giant's security personel has called upon residents to promptly report any cases of food poisoning or any person found in position of crocodile brains.

I'm familiar with the crash position and the missionary position, but I'm unfamiliar with the crocodile brains position.


/Is that like the Venus Butterfly?

TFA: However, the crocodile tail and meat are consumed as a delicacy, which can be roasted, fried, grilled or deep-fried, while the legs and some of the body parts are best stewed, as is done in West Africa.

THIS, assuming croc tastes anything like gator. Gator tail has that same chickenesque flavor as all reptiles, but it's more like fried chicken so flavorful it borders on religious ecstasy. The only real downside is that the meat's a bit tough.

/random foodstuffs thread GO!

Chocodiles are good.

It is however, not clear if the reptile's brain were extracted for some rituals purposes or for the intention of poisoning people.
In Southern Africa crocodile brain is regarded as highly toxic and in some rural cultures it is said to be used by some unscrupulous individuals to lace foodstuffs with the intention of killing their victims.
In Zimbabwe many beer drinkers have lost their lives through binging alcohol that would have been laced with crocodile brains by their enemies. The reptile's bile is also said to be highly devastative to humans and animals upon consumption.

Regarded as highly toxic? would have been laced?Ung bunga Boo! and don't make me roll the bones, bits of rock, some feathers, and dead uncle Tongas shriveled up naughty bits to keep you in line. Back to the mine!!
Reality is I guess the brain could be toxic with heavy metals. Apex predator in unsanitary river and additive buildup amongst the food chain.

Frget the brains, I need a new handbag and shoes!

If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die.

Subby has seen Return of the Living Dead too many times, as just the very thought that something could exist with the soul intent and purpose of cracking open perfectly good corpses for the Brain...

They're worth how much???? Brrraaaiiinnsss....

Did the crocodile have some red on it?

Rob Zombie?

//I know, I know, don't attack

MORE BRAINS!

/Send more cops. Well played, Subby

Even in this country some people still eat brains, but that doesn't mean it's okay. It's actually very risky. Not only do you have to worry about how the animal you're consuming might have pre-denatured proteins that will cause terrible things to happen to you, vCJD, BSE, FSE, TSE's, but also immune mimicry or molecular mimicry when your body notices unfamiliar or foreign brain material somewhere it shouldn't, there's a risk your body will train your next generation of lymphocytes to attack the substance, as your T and B cells become immunocompetent they recognize that brain particle as an antigen and begin to attack, the problem is, that brain material from the animal you just ate or inhaled or whatever is so simlar to your own, that your body begins to attack its own nervous tissues. Within the past year or so several slaughter houses in the US experienced a rash of an unknown disease, and it turned out to be caused by workers inhaling pork brains when they used compressed air on the carcass.



TL;DR = Don't eat brains.

It's actually "Send more paramedics"... but subby gets bonus points anyway.

Defleshed It's actually "Send more paramedics"... but subby gets bonus points anyway.

Sadly they say both. I wondered myself so I had to verify. After the first cops show up to the mourge they get killed and the civil war zombie requests more cops.

On the plus side, they have a cure for everything nowadays. Zombie Armageddon is a worry of the past, or so these guys claim.

So the only thing that yells "brains" is your local psychotic voodoo, Cthulhu cultist.

/still got my guns and zombie plan anyway

Just sayin.

Crocodiiles = dangerous.
Zombies = dangerous.

Zombodiles = a good reason to avoid West Africa.
