I think the peanut butter and barbecue-flavoured potato chip sandwich I made as a kid and a Dairy Queen banana split with creme de menthe, brandied peach, and blueberry toppings qualify as the most bizarre things I have ever eaten (the banana split grossed my roommate out...) Of course, anything from UW's Village residences wins hands-down... dwarf -- "May your Coke always be Classic." mathNEWS--the math student newspaper at the University of Waterloo {allegra|clyde|linus|ihnp4|decvax}!watmath!watdcsu!mathnews UUCP mathnews%watdcsu@waterloo.csnet CSNET mathnews@watdcsu NETNORTH

For those weak of heart...TOUGH!! I was in Barbados a few years ago and saw a man eat what had to be one of the more discusting things one could possibly eat. We were on the beach and were sort of pulling sea urchins out of the water when these two guys came along and say to us "You wanna see me eat that?" Well we said sure, figuring there isn't a whole lot inside one of these things that looks edible. Theyre mostly shell and fluid. Anyway these guys cracked it open and the fluid poured out and inside was the most sleazy looking glob of guts that you've ever seen. Well they scooped it out with a finger and down the drain it went. It was only after that, they admitted that they had been drinking madly for the past 2 hours. Anyway we didn't see them again but I figure they spent a few our praying to the porcelain god. ------------------ On a lighter note. Ever see anybody hollow out a pickle fill the inside with peanut butter. Dip the result into melted chocolate, let it cool down and eat it. I did -- yulk! -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dennis Vadura, Computer Science Dept., University of Waterloo UUCP: {ihnp4|allegra|utzoo|utcsri}!watmath!watdaisy!dvadura ================================================================================

My college cafeteria once served pineapple pie for dessert. That, in itself, is not too bizarre, though I don't usually think of pineapple as a pie filling. Trouble was, it LOOKED like peach pie. I expected to taste peaches, and when I bit into the pie, there was something completely different there, which weirded me out. Reality bore no relation whatsoever to my expectations. Of course, that, also, is not so unusual...

Of course, that, also, is >not so unusual... The same kind of thing occurred when, at a party, I was chatting with a friend who was drinking rum and Coke (ugh). I was quaffing beer, but for some reason I had been looking at the icky-sweet drink in my friend's hand. Expecting to taste sugar and nail-polish remover, I swigged some beer--reality was altered and great holes opened in time and space. Yeesh.
