[I only eat animals that have sex in a dignified fashion](http://www.guardian.co.uk/film/2010/may/19/nicolas-cage-diet) The article is too short to quote much but: > [@](#): > > He continues: "I actually choose the way I eat according to the way animals have sex. I think fish are very dignified with sex. So are birds. > “But pigs, not so much. So I don’t eat pig meat or things like that. I eat fish and fowl.” I have no idea what to add… _Hey Nick, go hog wild?_ ---

Does he know about the duck sex thing? Is that decorous? I’m not sure how chicken procreation is more dignified than pig fun anyway. ---

What’s the deal with the two headed snake he bought for protection in New Orleans? I’d like to hear what belief motivates that? Is that medicine bag spiritualism or something… voodoo? ---

Is that medicine bag spiritualism or something… voodoo? While I was in New Orleans a couple of weeks back, I stopped at a bar in the Quarter, and the bartender was bitching about how Nicholas Cage had been in a few hours earlier, ran up a $20 dollar tab and then only left a 2 or 3 dollar tip… Maybe he spent all his fun money on two-headed snakes. ---
