Awhile back I remember seeing a discussion about whether or not some Asian cultures eat monkey brains out of the monkey’s skull while it’s still alive. I remember this YUKKY movie called Faces of Death I saw part of during a high-school play cast party where a live monkey was locked into a table with its head sticking out. Assuming none of the actions in the movie were faked (and the boys in the room assured us they were real:rolleyes), the people in he restaurant cracked open the skull and…urp…Well ,it sure looked real enough, and it was horrible. I mean, to each their own and all, but MAN…
I just found the article I was thinking of-should have thought of that before posting-:
“In Asia, do people scoop the brains out of a monkey’s skull and eat them?” 09-MAR-2001
Welcome to the SDMB, and thank you for posting your comment.
It’s actually pretty easy to include a working link in your post.
To include a link, it can be as simple as including the web page location in your post (make sure there is a space before and after the text of the URL).
Like so. Cecil’s column: http://www.straightdope.com/columns/010309.html

There was a long discussion of the scene in the movie “Faces of Death” in this thread: Monkey Brains
Most of the people in the thread were of the opinion that the footage was fake. You will also notice a more than usually acrimonious discussion. Let’s not have a repeat of that in this thread, hmmmm?

Oh, crap…this beats my previous record of newbie-screw-ups by at least an hour. I searched for “monkey brains” and all I got back was Cecil’s original column, so I went ahead and posted. I am really sorry, especially after reading that thread! Forgive me?
