Magickly Delicious?
I think I’d be about a 63. I don’t have a mental objection to eating somebody dead, but if I and someone else were still alive I would try to work with them to get out of the situation. Especially if they were my friend.
Edit: I think Muffin sounds pretty tasty, myself.
Did you mean Andrew Zimmern? I love that guy!
I think I’d be about a 90. A little reluctant but able to do what was necessary and I’m an adventurous enough eater that it wouldn’t make me gag or anything.
Clowns taste funny. 150.
Presumably they were average people, no? I’m curious whether that reflects, in any way, the masses. Surely there have been more than just a couple of situations similar to theirs, where cannibalism either did or did not occur?
Muffin!
Oooooh. Ouch. Those puns were poet best. But it was a double, did you get those at a Byron, get one free sale?
I think the tastiest doper would be Satifying Andy Licious.
featherlou, would it violate any of your Charter rights to tell us what you had for dinner over the holidays?
Muffin would be tasty, but there’s nothing like a little Unauthorized Cinnamon to get the taste buds dancing!
Two cannibals are eating a missionary. One starts at the head, the other at the feet. After a while, the one at the head asks his buddy, “How you doing down there?”
Buddy says, “I’m having a ball!”
First cannibal says, “SLOW DOWN, DAMMIT!”
I openly advocate cannibalism in a way. I teach self-defense classes and one of the things we teach is to bite the hell out of your assailant. Our mantra is “Bad guys taste like chicken!”.
… and getting their fluids in your mouth can never spread horrible diseases like Hepatitis-C or AIDS?
I would not kill another person to survive myself. I think that those who do have written themselves out of the human race. Nobody has the right to survive that way.
But, as in the case of those soccer players in the mountains, down in South America, I think that consuming the already dead bodies of their fellow team members was perfectly acceptable. Even their priests told them it wasn’t a sin, and I agree with that.
Those of you with answers of 90+, how about this scenario:
You’re washed up on a deserted tropical island, no reasonable assumption that you’ll be rescued. There is stuff to eat, but, you know, hunting and gathering is a pain.
Another person washed up with you, and dies of some injury a few days later. You won’t starve, probably, if you don’t eat him. Do you anyway?
Or the others would look you over and you’d be the first one to go.
If there’s no need, there’s no need.
It depends, I wouldn’t go out of my way to eat a human, especially one that’s been dead an unknown amount of time. Who knows what nasty stuff grows in the human body (I’m sure someone does… please, enlighten us), and what stuff festers there after it’s been dead for a while.
If there’s other foods on the Island, for me, I don’t have a problem hunting/gathering.
We had meat; lots of juicy, tender meat. Mmmm, meat.
I hadn’t really thought of killing people to eat them; I was sort of envisioning other people kind of keeling over thoughtfully. I think if I had to kill someone else to eat them, my score would go way down. On the other hand, if I was stranded as a result of an accident or something and there were corpses all around me, I think I’d be smoking or drying those babies pretty damned quickly. Hate to let potential protein go to waste.
More than that - hunting is really fucking hard, especially for people who have never done it before. And a desert island scenario (unless it’s like *Lost *and there are an inexplicable number of firearms around) pretty much guarantees you won’t have a nice store of weapons ready made. Could you carve, straighten and fire harden a spear strong enough yet light enough to help you kill a boar? Could you track and find a boar when you were ready? I bet I couldn’t, not on my first ten tries.
And gathering? How many people could correctly identify a passionfruit, much less an exotic edible orchid?
I think a wiser use of my labors might be making a fire bow, starting a fire, and making Tourist Jerky out of my fellow passengers.
Put me down as a 1.
Or if there’s bacon salt available make that 100
I’m like a 110, I’m surprised I haven’t eaten someone already.
Suppose babies taste like veal?
