Gross Tuesday No:12


Good morning all, here we are at another Tuesday and I really didn't want to get up the is morning but get up I did. Being Tuesday means it is gross Tuesday, so here is part two of cannibal facts.

The Maori in New Zealand used cannibalism as a war tactic, their enemies were terrified at the though of being thrown into a cooking pot.


In the early 20th century chief Ratu Udre Udre of Fiji is said to have eaten 812 people.

Long pig” is a cannibal code word for cooked humans

Biting your fingernails is technically self-cannibalism

As is eating your own hair, which can make hair-balls in your stomach

There is a neurological disease called “kuru” which can be spread by eating human flesh.
