With all the hormones and whatnot inside. Dopamine, adrenaline, melatonin, whatever. Also, there’s this Hunter S. Thompson bit on the… pineal gland?
If it had an effect on you, wouldn’t it be a really messed up high, all over the place? With uppers, downers etc mixed? (Not including the emotional implications of eating raw human brains.)
Not sure about that but it is a great way to get Kuru
That sounds too difficult
It’s easy when you put your mind to it.
Same as veganism, really.
But vegans don’t eat any brains! Surely that’s a bridge too far?
Oh jolly, everything about this resembles the Mad Cow Disease
[…]
Jolly
It’s a prion disease. Mad Cow, Creutzfeldt-Jacob, Chronic Wasting (so far only seen in deer), and Scrapies (known of for a long time and so far limited to sheep and goats) all start with a misfolded protein and gradually break down the brain till it looks like a sponge.
And Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) in cervids such as deer, moose, and elk, which thankfully has not been shown to be transmissible to humans yet. Prions are the stuff of nightmares.
Oh, and Fatal Familial Insomnia.
What’s with your use of the word “jolly?”
Either facetious or maybe they have some fava beans laying around.
And a nice Chianti.
Brits try human brains for first time!
Did anyone else learn about Kuru from the Book of Eli movie?
That wikipedia article reads like an a try in the sco wiki.
