If we're not supposed to eat people, why are they made out of meat? (the Cannibal Thread)

I came up with a song title for a tiki song called "Long Pig Luau"
Jim from Tikiyaki didn't want to use it,
so when I did an all tiki music edition of Radiofree bakersfield.
I called it the Long Pig Luau
see here:

Then Jonpaul said, "we need to open a restaurant, called the Long Pig Luau,
Where we actually eat people"

Like Soylent Green, but TIKI!!!!

Your worrying me now, Jeff......

Now?

You should have always been worried.

Eat them.
no evidence.

Unless of course yer caught wearing their bones around yer neck.

So which thread becomes the official cannibal thread of TikiCentral?

Cannibals were picky eaters?

Never saw this thread before...great humor.

Did you hear the one about the cannibal who passed his brother in the jungle the other day?

Cannibal humor:
A five minute segment from the TV show Night Gallery. Can't decide if it's cutting edge droll ghoulish wit or a desperate attempt to spice up a failing show.

NEW YORK (AP) — A law enforcement official says a police officer's estranged wife alerted New York authorities about her husband, who is now suspected of plotting to kidnap and cook women.

I wonder if that cauldron survived Cyclone Pam which scored a direct hit on Vanuatu and surrounding islands?

"Eating human brains helped Papua New Guinea tribe resist disease, research shows

The cannibalistic practice helped the Fore tribe develop genetic resistance to a mad cow-like disease. This is useful for scientists studying diseases like dementia

Research involving a former brain-eating tribe from Papua New Guinea is helping scientists better understand mad cow disease and other so-called prion conditions and may also offer insights into Parkinson’s and dementia.

People of the Fore tribe, studied by scientists from Britain and Papua New Guinea, have developed genetic resistance to a mad cow-like disease called kuru, which was spread mostly by the now abandoned ritual of eating relatives’ brains at funerals.

Experts say the cannibalistic practice led to a major epidemic of kuru prion disease among the Fore people, which at its height in the late 1950s caused the death of up to 2% of the population each year.

In findings published in the scientific journal Nature, the researchers said they had identified the specific prion resistance gene – and found that it also protects against all other forms of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD).

“This is a striking example of Darwinian evolution in humans, the epidemic of prion disease selecting a single genetic change that provided complete protection against an invariably fatal dementia,” said John Collinge of the Institute of Neurology’s prion unit at University College London, which co-led the work.

Prions are infectious agents that cause often fatal brain diseases such as CJD in humans, scrapie in sheep and BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease) in cattle.

They are also a rare but important cause of dementia, and scientists say it is now recognised that the process involved in these diseases – in which prion proteins change shape and stick together to form polymers that damage the brain – is also what happens in common dementias such as Alzheimer’s, and in Parkinson’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Collinge said his team was now conducting more studies to understand the molecular basis of this effect, hoping to find clues on the seeds of other misshapen proteins that develop in the brain and cause the common forms of dementia.

Worldwide, about 47.5 million people have dementia and there are 7.7 million new cases every year, according to the World Health Organization.

The total number of cases is projected to reach 75.6m in 2030 and to almost triple by 2050 to 135.5m."
