There is also one called 'chicken of the woods' which is supposed to be very tasty.

I believe that is scary enough to qualify.
I have a highly developed immune system, due to eating in all manner of filthy wierd places, and even I would have given that a miss. Eight month out of date duck tongues are one thing but pork 20 plus years out of date- a bit scary!
Mind you, it looks like it was foil sealed. My theory on the duck was that it would be okay cos it was foil sealed. Maybe we're not too bright?
Also, if its as old as you think, surely any harmfull bacteria would have died of old age by now.
Well done.
I voted high cos you spelt eating as Omnomnom and that made me happy.
I will never be able to eat gummy bears again because they are all alive in my mind.
Me and Majyk always have fun planning what we would do if 'the world ended'. He always looks for a defensible position, I always look for a place with more than one exit and a food supply. The tunnels yesterday were good on all those counts, and I think a plentiful supply of fresh water, as well as plentiful food. Cold though, with an unrealistic treck for fuel for heat and cooking. Diet of raw shellfish, seaweed, greens and seagull eggs anyone?
The tunnels in the cliff were older than the rocket testing site. There are two batterys on the cliffs by the needles, the old battery, and the new battery, as well as the rocket testing site and some other modern buildings. The bit I refered to as the old battery in the first half was actually the new battery, I think, although its still pretty old. I didn't bother with the actual Needles old battery because you have to pay to get in, which spoils the fun. The tunnels were connected to the old, old battery. So amazing. So I think we investigated stuff from the first, second and the cold war.
There are loads of places like this in the world, and you can find them through official and urben exploration websites. Well, theres certainly a lot in the UK anyway. Just on the Isle of Wight I still have a large number of sites too explore, although probably none as spectacular as that gem. One dissapointment that I discovered whilst researching this that the big bunker I always believed to be a myth did actually exist, on top of Ventnor Down, where I thought it was, but I never went looking for it. Didn't think it could possible be there without everyone knowing about it. But people were getting in and exploring for years. The bungallow which disguised the entrance has now been demolished and the hatch capped with 18" of concrete. I missed it.
I had also heard rumors of the tunnels we explored yesterday, but never followed them up before. Must remember in future: listen to rumors.
Teehee. Must be a very cool pig to have such a fantastic name (not that I'm biased in any way)!
You can do this by sitting with food very quietly and eventually they will come land on you. In England where I live it is pretty easy to catch them like this. One actually landed on my shoulder once and stole a chip out of my mouth when I laughed at it. Cheeky bastard. I used to single out the ones with string and stuff stuck round their feet, 'cos it makes them deformed and lumpy. I used to disentangle them and give them a crumb. Maybe you could combine this task with such good deeds?
I got stuck in the stairwell of a super tall building once. I was on vacation in Houston and me and my botfriend at the time went to the observation floor of the tallest building in the city. For some reason he decided to go through a door in the wall, I never did fathom why, something about needing a ciggarette, I couldn't work it out. I followed him, protesting, and before I knew it we were in a stairwell and the door had locked behind us. It was all blank and scary like the ones in these pictures and we really weren't supposed to be ther. We had to walk down lots of floors before we found a door with a buzzer and got let onto a floor or offices and escorted out. Luckily we were English and so, for some reason, that made what we did forgivable (I don't know if they forgave us because we were foreign, and therefore stupid, or if they were just charmed by our accents, which bizzarely seems to happen a lot ). It was really creepy and the way you could see aaallllllllllllll the way down the well in the middle made it much worse. Shudder. Very brave task. I'll go away now and stop boring you.
