You either dik gevriet or dik dom

Back in the 60's women were advised to eat tape worms in order to lose weight. I once read a letter from a distressed teacher in the YOU magazine who wrote into the agony aunt about how she gobbles up a box of chalk everyday and how she worried if it would have any side effects seeing as it wasn't toxic after all.

I get humans are curious creatures, but when it gets to the point of stupidity it just gets lame. I get different cultures have different dishes, but thats still ok, but eating everyday crap that only a puppy dog would find exciting says a lot about you.


There was a man who ate a whole plane over a span of 2 years, but he had some miraculously strong digestive walls so he was ok, and another 'doos' who decided he was gonna swallow an antenna but then had to have it removed.

"hmmm....looks yummy!"

Clearly some do it to get attention but then there are those with serious addictions to stuff, like this French man who liked to steal money only to eat it. He eventually had to have $650 worth of coins removed.
Apparently this is a real illness called PICA, where individuals get addicted to eating non-nutritious objects. It seems to be a mental problem to me, but the doctors say it's not considered to be pathological.

Sorry Lanieka, I dunno what you gonna do to wipe yourself when you actually need to shit that toilet paper out.

How Wacky is your Wednesday?

One thing I do miss about home, is the food. Korea has some amazing food to offer in its own right like galbi and cheap buffets etc, but nothing does it like the amazing meat and spices that South Africa has.


On one specific exhausting work day here in Seoul, I fell into a deep sleep during lunch time and dreamt I was in Steers. They have the best chips as far as I am concerned, especially with that "special" seasoning. For some reason getting chips, let alone bread, with your meal is rare here in Korea. I find this irritating and so not on.

Talk about Steers, I do so fondly remember the Wacky Wednesdays special. It was every students dream midweek meal. Some people in pure delusion and delight would even order a Wacky Wednesday on a Monday or Friday.
It's pretty popular, but I do think it's not the best burger Steers has to offer, but hey, it's 2 for 1 right?


In fact, Wacky Wednesdays are so popular they have scored over 3000 hits on Google.co.za search and they even have a Facebook "Wacky Wednesday Appreciation" fan page! This in addition to the Wacky Wednesday rap video which you can see here on Youtube!

Now how wacky does that Wednesday get? :D
