Isn't there an episode of that pissdrinker guy where he just eats one of those? I remember wanting to vomit during that scene.

Well he eats some similar huge grub, but those things are actually eaten pretty regularly by locals and don't even taste bad so he was just being over dramatic for the camera. The really dumb thing is I remember another episode where he ate grubs and was totally fine with it so I don't know why he decided to fake being grossed out in that one.

In the future, if you see a very skinny "woman" in black and white acting like she is underwater, it's from MAMA.

Also if you see a very skinny being with hosed-up proportions in a movie in general, it's probably in part this guy:

Whales are too big. They're beautiful, but if it's so big that they can accidentally capsize a boat that is too big for my liking. Imagine just sitting in your boat, getting ready to grab another beer from the cooler when all of a sudden a giant, gaping maw of horror bursts out of the water just feet from the boat.

Nope!

That particular grub is normally eaten cooked, and he just eats it raw. Doesn't help that it explodes and dribbles goo over his chin. :gonk:

Yeah if it was the one I'm thinking of it was really gross to watch and looked ridiculously unpleasant to eat even if he'd done it before. I remember him being skeeved out by how huge it was but he knew he'd have to eat it for the show

This look like the sort of picture the protagonists would discover in the first act of a horror film while investigating what happened to their missing friends.

Most oil filters can't capsize your boat and crush you beneath several tons of their sheer blubbery mass.

This horse is called an 'Akhal Teke' and I'm sure many have already seen this image.


But were you also aware they apparently carry some seriously freaky defects in their genes? Like hairlessness.

That's to be expected with purebreeds of most species; tons of purebred dogs and horses have serious defects or abnormalities. You want a creepy mutant horse? I'll show you a creepy mutant horse.



This is a product of the Chernobyl exclusion zone, and photographs of it and other mutant animals were sent to Mikhail Gorbachev to try and convince him to more seriously investigate the long-term consequences of the meltdown. Of course, no such thing was done.

Probably because most of the images are fake, or at best (as in this case), cherry-picked *normal* random mutations.

They were released there intentionally, the risk of damage by radiation is far outweighed by the lack of humans loving poo poo up, in conservation terms.

edit:

Although humans are loving poo poo up again:

quote:

In Chernobyl, the population reproduced at a high rate, reaching up to 200 individuals until poachers decreased their number to just 60 in recent years. As of 2011, it was estimated that only 30–40 individuals remained. An intensely researched population of free-ranging animals was also introduced to the Hortobágy National Park puszta in Hungary; data on social structure, behavior and diseases gathered from these animals is used to improve the Mongolian conservation effort.
