I just ate the flesh of a dead turkey--am I gonna die?
:scared:

It was some darn good soup, but it could be the cause of most of humanity's illnesses.

3. As long as it was cooked
I don't think you need to worry too much. Just don't drive for awhile--the tryptophan in the turkey will cause drowsiness for awhile. :)

5. Wanna know the truth? Much of the violent behavior in America
can be traced to diet... it has been proven.

16. Proven? Scientifically? A scientist actually used the word
Proven? Are you sure he/ she didn't offer evidence derived from empirical observation and experimentation that SUPPORTED a theory? I just need some clarification on that seemingly minor but surprisingly important point.

21. I couldn't find any proof here...
Edited on Sun Dec-11-05 08:30 PM by leeroysphits
Mostly opinion with some scientific evidence to support various theories but that's ok. I would never believe any scientist that had actually claimed to have PROVEN something to credible anyhow...

14. Yes. You will definitely die.
It may take years, even decades. But on that day, you will be haunted by turkey soup. And I can't believe that you allowed the decomposing remains of the dead plant life boiled in that bowl of soup to enter the sacred temple of your body.

I love ripping the little green things right out of the ground with my bare hands and watching them wither.

31. Looks like one to me...
and a very nice one too. I'd go with something like that if I were you. It has a rustic and yet elegant look to it. :)

26. Was it from Thanksgiving 2 1/2 weeks ago?
If so, the answer is yes. And remind me to remove the last of the Thanksgiving turkey from my 'fridge. Eventually.

I was eating some turkey soup from Thanksgiving today and my mother grabbed it away from me and screamed "Are you crazy? It'll kill you!" Tasted OK to me :shrug:

34. To think that turkey soup could be the cause of most
of humanity's illnesses is idiotic at best.

Considering the flamebait nature of the post, I'll withdraw my last statement.
