I myself didn't eat any earthworms, but one time when I was photographing my little boy in our front yard, I noticed he got some grass and put it in his mouth, so I just kept taking pictures. I didn't think anything about it. Then when I got the pictures developed and enlarged we could see that it wasn't grass at all. He had a handful of juicy-looking earthworms hanging out of his mouth. He was too young to remember what they tasted like, but they must have been awfully good by the expression on his face.

Amazing facts about gold:

A lump of pure gold the size of a matchbox can be flattened into a sheet the size of a tennis court.

Absolutely pure gold is so soft that it can be molded with the hands.

An ounce of gold can be stretched into a wire 50 miles long.

It's not only the taste, John3:17, but the texture is amazing. Also the sensation of something squirming as one chomps down is a rare treat. :-)

??WHO MADE PHILOSOPHY A STRICT SCIENCE??


"A philosopher, Edmund Husserl, in Germany, the founder of Phenomenology, a new method for the description and analysis of consciousness through which philosophy gains the character of a strict science. The method reflects an effort to resolve the opposition between Empiricism, which stresses observation, and Rationalism, which stresses reason and theory, by indicating the origin of all philosophical and scientific systems and developments of theory in the interests and structures of the experiential life." - Encyclopaedia Britannica, 15th edition

The most abundant metal in the Earth's crust is aluminum.

The Chinese were using aluminum to make things as early as 300 AD Western civilization didn't rediscover aluminum until 1827.

Wow, the nitrogen is so high. So does that make us really nitrogen breathers instead of oxygen?
