Ya know, this forum might be more popular if we did stuff like this:
www.reddit.com
(There might be some NSFW stuff on there, but they seem to be cleaning it up as it gets posted there)
Maybe we should do an ATOT logo somewhere in the new unused space?

Akee and salt-fish is one of my favorite Jamaican meals and there are several places near me that serve it every day .... not sure where you got that it's "banned" although it can make you sick if not prepared properly.
Ackee and Saltfish recipe (Food Network)
And the trick with the live octopus is to chew thoroughly!
FDA Regulation of Ackee Fruit Products - OFW Law
Ackee fruit is harvested from the ackee tree (Blighia sapida), which is native to West Africa, but is also found in Central and South America, many Caribbean

Ok, not banned but strictly regulated.

I'm not sure its even all that strict considering how readily available it is. Nearly every Jamaican restaurant has it on the menu regularly and its not super-expensive.
The only regulation I'm aware of involves fresh whole Akee fruit which I believe is where the strict rules come in. Most Akee available in the US is canned.
Really the stuff is no riskier to handle or prepare/consume then Rhubarb.

Sannakji is alright but mainly soju drinking food. I've eaten it plenty of times but I like cooked octopus more than raw. As long as you chew well and don't try to swallow too many large octopus pieces at once, the risk of choking is minimal. Dipping the raw octopus in sesame oil helps it slide down your throat.
Lady getting some small live octopus out of the fish tank for me in Busan, SK.
sannakji I had at sushi restaurant in Seoul, SK.
Korean sushi restaurants in Atlanta will occasionally have sannakji but it's not that common here. I do order it when it's on the menu.

Everybody wants to start their own religion but why not reboot a virtually dead one? I give you - Manichaeism.
Say what? I know, right? I'm a f***ing religion major and that was my response.
After calming down at the thought of my obviously incomplete education, I did realize that it currently survives as a mere shadow of was once the major religion of south and southeast asia.
It sounds fascinating though. They include Buddha, Jesus and Zoraster (last one you probably need to look up) among their prophets and personally, I've always just sort of assumed that Jesus spent his youth (which is NOT recorded in any of the canonical gospels) in the "east" probably learning Buddhism. That probably sounds strange but if you read anyof the "gnostic" gospels, it sort of makes sense.
Anyway, the texts of Mani (hence the name) were lost for centuries but eventually resurfaced in China. So I'm compelled to order that $45 hardcover text from Amazon. Yes, I'm a sucker.

I had read of the religion in reference to the Cathars but didn't follow up on it. To me, it has some of the same appeal as the Kabbalah. I'll have to give The Book of Giants a read as the Book of Enoch was pretty good.

Oh Dae-su? Is that you?
The way most religious books are written. gives me a headache. The fact that a layperson may have trouble understanding such texts, leaves him/her at the mercy of some sort of religious figure with better knowledge of said text and its contextual meaning. Then you are not really putting your faith into the teachings of the text but actually into the honesty of the person who is believed to be an expert on that text material. I have a BIG problem with that, since I don't trust anyone. Everyone has an agenda, the least of which is your well-being. They may wish you well, only as long as you somehow contribute to their own well-being. It's a miracle from my point of view that the world still functions and there is some good in the world.I'll have to give The Book of Giants a read as the Book of Enoch was pretty good.
Hard to imagine living like that. Must be hard.

Since when does drinking Coconut water cause kidney failure?
If this were true I would have been dead many years ago.
The only harmful/unhealthy things I've ever read/heard about that can cause issues from drinking Coconut-water are the high sugar levels it contains and in extreme-cases possibly too much potassium interfering with some medications like beta-blockers. (same thing can happen from eating too many banana's)
EDIT: Apparently Potassium IS the explanation and at extreme-levels CAN cause kidney-failure although it would only be a factor if Coconut-water was about the only thing you drank for a long time in an otherwise healthy person.

I saw a great animal planet show about this. They explained what is in the link and showed how different animals see the same scene. Amazing how the detail of movement is enhanced by the lack of color.
Really cool show.
I can’t remember the name, I watched it a long time ago.
The senile people that are targeted by this practice already have weakened kidneys. Doesn't take that much potassium to get their heart to go out.

US Navy wirelessly beams 1.6 kW of power a kilometer using microwaves
In what it describes as the most significant demonstration of its kind in half a century, the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) beamed 1.6 kW of power over a kilometer (3,280 ft) using a microwave beam at the US Army Research Field in Maryland.
