Oh EW.

"It is worth noting that although tampons (and increasingly sanitary napkins) may come individually wrapped, they are not sterilized; they are merely bleached white."

Is that true? It came from Wikipedia on an entry about menstrual cups, so it's possibly made by someone advertising for menstrual cups but...dude. Individually wrapped and unsterilized? o.0 my inner bio-geek is screaming for the hills. ::shudders and flails::

Do you mean those pig ears that they marinate and slice up and serve cold? ::wistful:: they sell none by where I go to school. Nor do they sell chicken feet or boiled blood, I'd have to go to the city to get it, and even then it's sorta americanized.

I...maybe. I wouldn't know for sure. See, ever since the episode with the goose feet, my relatives have a pretty longstanding memo not to tell me what went into whatever I eat when I visit them. I'm okay with ignorance in this case.

...ew, blood. They culture the effin' virulent stuff in that. But to each their own, I guess.

?


...ew, blood. They culture the effin' virulent stuff in that.

heh, yeah. And I'm better with that concept than with the tampons thing.

I seriously think it may be because I sorta don't consider anything 'pain' or 'being sick' unless I'm incapacitated, and cramps does that like nothing else.

I love jellyfish. They told me it was jellyfish. Then after I'd eaten it, they were like, "Those were goose feet, kid." And earlier I'd been all, "Eee! Cute birdies!" at some park or zoo or whatever. I was...like, eight?

*pouts* Evil cousins.

::blinks:: wow. yeah, that is kinda evil.

::covers eyes and grins:: er...we've tricked our younger cousin into trying boiled pig's blood by calling it chocolate?

Okay, you're eviler.

...though that reminds me of microbio lab, where we were using blood agar culture plates. See, those turn brown after a while and look like chocolate too, so they're called chocolate agar informally. The lab instructor told us that they were not made of chocolate, so to not try eating it. Which means sometime in the past, somebody...did.

...gurk.

Did anyone ever try to steal the 100% alcohol from your labs yet? (the one's that were distilled using benzene?)

I heard about one in a high school that drank some, and apparently they spent the rest of the day puking. I asked my friend how the hell the teachers failed to notice a kid constantly running into the bathrooms, and he shrugged. I'm amazed the kid didn't end up in a detox center.

[permetaform]

Yeah. Luck of the blind perhaps?

[guede-mazaka.livejournal.com]

Don't know what else could do it, so I guess yeah.
