Now I know...

why Garfield, and Bob Geldof & The Boomtown Rats don't like Mondays.

You know what's worse than opening a pistachio nut and thinking it's moldy?

Discovering the "fuzz" on the nut is actually the remnants of a cocoon spun by a little grub. And look! There it is! Roasted in its little niche, inside the pistachio nut.

You know what's worse than that?

Looking at the pile of empty shells from the pistachios you've already eaten.

I guess that's one way of looking at it :P

Great.... Looks like I may have to start paying more attention to what I'm eatting during those late night movie sessions....

Somewhere in the world that's probably a delicacy.

Just think, the thing that causes Athletes foot is pretty much the same genetically as the expensive White Truffle.

haha

I remember biting into a piece of fruit once and coming across a little tiny worm that was living inside. He wriggled "hello" as I gagged.

Wolf, you might be better off paying a lot less attention. Ignorance being bliss ;)

Lyndon, that's disturbing. Then again, I've eaten Escargo, so it's not like I can be too critical. A roasted grub really shouldn't be a big deal after that :P

Angela, at least he was able to wriggle "hello" and not "hel..." (as in he was only half the worm he used to be ;)
