    Why on earth would anyone want to talk about rancid pickles?

    Who here likes pickles (the non-rancid kind)? Aren't they a bit gross?

    Come on, in what alternative universe could pickles be “gross?”

    Several, including this one - take gherkins for example, aren't they foul?

    Has anyone besides me screamed and thrown a pickle at the waitress when she forgot to hold the pickle (I have a horror of pickles)?

    But isn’t everything else fouler, and thereby raising the status of the gherkin to the absolute pickle -- I mean -- pinnacle of food?

    Should we award extra points for cleverness such as displayed in Dragongrim's entry?

    Perhaps . . . praying mantises - and other bug things with looks that creep you out?

    Why do insects that are one hundred times smaller "creep" us out?

    Did you know that the female praying mantis eats the head of her mate when she is done with him?

    There's a very good joke in that that Cognito would censor - but as for my question:

    Why do they eat the "head" - why not the foot, or the elbows, or just nibble on the praying mantis fingers?

    Why not just have a burger and keep the father to help with the upbringing of the children? :p

    Hmmm - are you saying the female praying mantis (or other species) would be better off just chillin' - rather than taking someone's head off when in the heat passion - or an argument?

    It is was somehow necessary for the procreation of the species, wouldn't biting the head off your lover be a necessary evil?
