List of acquired tastes

To that list I'd add cod tongues and schrunchions (basically fried fat from the back of a pig.)

No one's ever going to get me to put something that had tentacles into my mouth.

Word.

On that vein, scientists found a Dumbo octopus (and other crazy sea creatures) off the coast of Sable Island.

Mmmm, calamari. I find squid or octopus can be wonderful, if properly prepared. But yeah, can also be really rubbery. Despite my many other food squicks, I have no problems eating tentacles. Yum!

Sadly, I'm in the Seattle airport, where my lunch options are "Udon Deli" and BK. ::sigh::

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I had McDs which is not helping with the antibiotic-caused stomach woes.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Earlier this morning the woman in the cube over was reproaching someone for being the cause of lobster death.

My first thought was the person prepared the lobster wrong and someone died of lobster poisoning.

ION, 20 Most Amazing Coincidences

In Detroit sometime in the 1930s, a young (if incredibly careless) mother must have been eternally grateful to a man named Joseph Figlock. As Figlock was walking down the street, the mother's baby fell from a high window onto Figlock. The baby's fall was broken and both man and baby were unharmed. A stroke of luck on its own, but a year later, the very same baby fell from the very same window onto poor, unsuspecting Joseph Figlock as he was again passing beneath. And again, they both survived the event.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

a type of xenophyophore, a single-cell animal the size of a grapefruit that had previously been found only in the deepest part of mid-Atlantic.

Uh, hello? Sloths should not be as big as elephants (still freaking out over here), and single cell should not be bigger than a ping pong ball.

Rubbery is not generally a texture issue for me. Mushy is much worse.

I missed the elephant sized sloth. Will someone link me?
