FTA: Sara did not understand that when Cassandra's looks fade in her 50s, there's no way I'm putting up with this crap.

HA!
Surprisingly, that was an excellent article.

Well, that was an interesting read. It was other things too, but interesting was one of them.

Err.... her own placenta?

Yeah, I thought I had reached the limit of grossness out there, but this ranks in the top 5. Thanks Time.

The word placenta comes from the Latin for cake,

 
SharkTrager 2009-07-11 04:33:06 PM  
So many great quotes in what I expected to be a lame article;

"When I asked Sara if her parents were embarrassed by what she does, she told me that her father sells bull semen."

"If I ever kill a man in my own home, I am totally calling the placenta lady."

"Sara said Cassandra had a particularly robust placenta..."

I'll eat almost anything. Except for Liver, or other organ meats like "sweet breads" or gizzards. Oh and add placenta to that list.

But I loves me some Liverwurst. Especially Liverwurst fried in bacon grease.

Damn, now I'm hungry

Our midwife insisted on showing it to my wife. She said we needed to bury it at the base of a tree. My wife told me to dump it in the medical waste bin. I did.

/yeah, honey, let's run around naked like animals, eat raw meat, eat our own poop, eat placentas, and do barbaric crap because animals do it too. In fact, f*** the house & the mortgage... let's just live in the trees like our monkey uncles.

I saw the placenta from both of my children. It's like my wife squirted out a veiny liver from her hoo-hah. Things like that should not come out of a bodily orifice.

Me, I was born at home in rural Spain. Supposedly, my placenta was buried out in the yard so that the cats wouldn't get to it.

 
Otherwise Just Fine [TotalFark] 2009-07-11 04:42:50 PM  
My brother's ex-wife kept the placenta for eating. They kept it in the freezer too long however, because no one in their right mind really wants to eat placenta.

So they buried it in the backyard and planted a tree on that spot after it started to get awkward. i.e. "So, brother, I see there's a placenta in your freezer."

Wouldn't eating the placenta technically count as cannibalism? 'Cuz if she gets to do that, the guy should totally get a free pass for necrophilia. Just sayin'.

 
Dialectic 2009-07-11 04:43:06 PM  
Hell, naw. I would eat my ho's pussy anytime. Not her placenta.

Eeek!

Chariset: Err.... her own placenta?

Well, if she wants to eat someone ELSE'S placenta, you should run screaming into the night and never return. Because it won't stop at placentas.

 
RicosRoughnecks 2009-07-11 04:46:07 PM  
Cats do make cleaning up easy when they give birth. I was disgusted at first when my cat had five kittens and those gross placentas came out. Then I was happy she gobbled them up since it meant I didn't have to touch them.

I'm not a particularly squeamish person, but I almost ralphed when I read that.

That's not illiteration. It's not alliteration, either. It's not even assonance.

the Ultimate test is whether you can eat chitlins. THAT will prove whether you are Man or mouse.

i thought i was the Dude and tried chitlins once. wow, i couldn't do it.

WTF is wrong with people? Animals also eat their offspring's shiat, but I don't see people sucking on dirty diapers.

WHY A SOW PIG IS SMARTER THAN A WOMAN:

Back in the horse-and-buggy days, there was an old pig farmer whose wife was very pregnant. "How much y'all charge me to deliver that baby?" he asked the country doctor.

"Twenty-five Dollars," the Doctor replied.

"Damn, that's a lot of money," the pig farmer said. "Tell you what, I've caught many a litter of piglets in my life, and I've noticed, a woman is downright similar. I'll just do the job myself, and save the money."

Two weeks later they met again. "How did it go?" the Doctor asked.

"Not too bad," the pig farmer replied. "Got a nice healthy eight-pound baby boy---but you should have told me, a woman is nowhere near as smart as a sow pig?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I had to sit on top of her and fight with her for three hours to get her to eat the afterbirth, but a sow pig knows enough to eat it without being told!"

unless you're a noob (not you personally, just in general) if you haven't been able to see stuff on the internet that you'd never think you'd ever see and/or can't unless, then you're doing it wrong.

What's with all these fallacious responses to a fallacious argument? Both sound ridiculous.

Other animals do a lot of things that humans do, and do a lot of things that humans don't do now.
