That’s one bigass mortar shell. I wouldn’t park within 100 yards of this valve, and don’t even think of using a hammer to open it. Gives a new meaning to the term “Fire Hydrant.”

I’m not too squeamish, but some foods require blinders for us westerners. I’ve heard that the rule of thumb when dining in Asia is never ask what it is, just eat it. (Also remember that “Asian food” is just called “food” by the locals.)
Of course it works both ways. There are a lot of people who are repulsed by fermented and clotted mammalian lactations, yet they’ll drool at a plate of stir-fried rat feet dipped in squid ink with wood grubs.
So as we all sit here sifting our memories for the most disgusting stuff we’ve ever introduced to our gastrointestinal tracts, let’s pass around a big ‘ol honkin’ platter of deep fried WTF on The Overnight Open Thread.

For anyone considering having a ferret, please do your homework. They have specific needs unrelated to dogs and cats. Here’s a start: www.everythingferret.com/ferret_proofing.htm.
Since the previous post reminded us that today is Ferret Friday, this seems like a great opportunity for everyone to go blogwhoring on The Overnight Open Thread.
