There's no telling what else is out there in this world!
JAKARTA, Indonesia -- There's drip coffee -- and then there's coffee from droppings. One of the world's most expensive coffees is supposedly made from droppings of weasellike civet cats. The story goes like this: The fussy Southeast Asian animals only eat the best and ripest coffee berries. Enzymes in their digestive system help to break down the bean. Workers collect the bean- containing droppings for so-called Civet or Weasel Coffee. Agus Susanto owns three fashionable cafes in Indonesia's capital, Jakarta. He says the popular Civet Coffee has a strong taste and an even stronger aroma. Some even say it's an aphrodisiac. http://www.local6.com/slideshow/news...ws;dm=ss;w=200 |

Meanwhile, the band plays on..... Recall this one from Scientific American? It appeared in a thread in SCAA in 2000/04/27: QUOTE Sexual and hygienic practices in southern Africa also contribute to the high rate of [HIV] infection. It is not uncommon for women to use their fingers, cloth, paper or cotton wool to swab the vaginal walls immediately before and during intercourse to achieve so-called dry sex, which is favored by many men. Some women also insert detergents and substances obtained from traditional healers--such as herbs and, rarely, soil on which a baboon has urinated--to induce an inflammatory reaction that dries, warms and tightens the vagina.

>There's no telling what else is out there in this world! As if you wouldn't know: "The traditional, manure-based "Many Weed Tea," taken by generations of rural black families in Alabama as a cold and flu remedy, is fading away despite continued testimonials to its effectiveness, according to a June Birmingham News story. Its recipe calls for forming a tea bag of cloth and filling it with two open lemons, stalks of the lavender plant, honey and several dried cow patties, preferably containing visible, undigested leaves and twigs. The brew is supposedly safe for humans provided that it is boiled long enough before steeping. [Birmingham News, 6-20-02] |

That's because I got a flu shot months ago, unlike the burrheads who put it off until the vaccine was practically all gone and the local network affiliates had a field day showing this near-riot stampede of ghetto sows, sprogs in tow, trying to "get da shot fo' mah baybee" from the Health Department... |
