Spam spam spam spam. Lovely spam! Wonderful spam!

Monday, March 8th, 2004

As if to confirm that the world is always weirder than I think it is, today I read about a Philippines restaurant that specialises in Spam. Yes, they specialise in dishes made from the most loveliest of pressed and canned meats, Spam:

The only items not containing Spam are the French fries and the hotdogs.

For once, I would not be ordering dessert.

Just don't walk past a really powerful magnet

BME has an very interesting interview with the recipient of the geekiest body modification I've ever seen. Not only does it allow him to perform neat party tricks, but it allows him to sense magnetic fields as they push and pull on the embedded neodymium magnet in his finger.

At least it wasn't another cannibal

A German man was recently killed by his pet spider and consumed by his collection of pet spiders, lizards and snakes:

A police spokesman said: “It was like a horror movie. His corpse was over the sofa.

“Giant webs draped him, spiders were all over him. They were coming out of his nose and his mouth.

“There was everything there one could imagine in the world of reptiles.

“Larger pieces of flesh torn off by the lizards were scooped up and taken back to the webs of tarantulas and other bird-eating spiders.”

People sometimes say that I'm weird for having three cats, but at least they won't kill and devour me. So long as I feed them on time, that is; otherwise, all bets are off.
