Title: Number one idiot of 2006 Post by: Krispy Kreme on February 05, 2007, 09:03:51 PM Number One Idiot of 2006
I am a medical student currently doing a rotation in toxicology at the poison control center. Today, this woman called in very upset because she caught her little daughter eating ants. I quickly reassured her that the ants are not harmful and there would be no need to bring her daughter into the hospital. She calmed down and at the end of the conversation happened to mention that she gave her daughter some ant poison to eat in order to kill the ants. I told her that she better bring her daughter into the emergency room right away. My wife sent it to me today, enjoy. Some people are pure gold. ;D Title: Re: Number one idiot of 2006 Post by: slash666 on February 05, 2007, 10:13:33 PM hmm ok... ::)

the stupidity of some people is unbearable :rofl: omg :lmao: Title: Re: Number one idiot of 2006 Post by: Walk on February 06, 2007, 03:37:19 AM Every survival nut will tell you that ants are loaded with some type of acid used in their bites that makes them inedible. If you're desperate, you can try and steal larvae from the hills, though. ;)

Ever heard of a health nut? They're people crazy about fitness. It's American slang. 8)
Title: Re: Number one idiot of 2006 Post by: Krispy Kreme on February 06, 2007, 09:07:43 PM hmm ok... ::) I bet you don't have to worry about being accused of having a sense of humor. ;) By the way, when I was in Boy Scouts, many moons ago, they put us in the desert for 3 days with only tents and sleeping bags and said: survive. We tried catching fish (no line or poles, so that did not work). We tried catching snakes, no go. So we ended up eating ants and cactus. The ants aren't too bad really, sort of like crispy bits at the bottom of a popcorn bowl. Title: Re: Number one idiot of 2006 Post by: Walk on February 07, 2007, 03:16:55 AM Holy crap, that sounds more like the Order of the Arrow cult than just the Boy Scouts! :hihi: If I had to survive in the desert for 3 days, I would find water first, if possible. You tried to catch fish, so I assume you had a source of fresh water, so that's helpful. If the time of the month is right, working at night to rest at day could be considered, if the moon is adequately bright. Away from light pollution and in an open area, the moon and stars can give a surprising amount of light, and the desert heat makes any exertion at day very difficult.
Cactus would mainly be useful if you could set up a solar still. Eating it is asking for hallucinations, and its food value is questionable. ;) Ants are always a bad idea, and I hope you have a photographic memory if you considered hunting snakes for food. Maybe trying to trick vultures, Odysseus style, would work. :hihi: Title: Re: Number one idiot of 2006 Post by: Where is Hassan Nasrallah ? on February 07, 2007, 01:03:32 PM Holy crap, that sounds more like the Order of the Arrow cult than just the Boy Scouts! :hihi: If I had to survive in the desert for 3 days, I would find water first, if possible.

Title: Re: Number one idiot of 2006 Post by: Walk on February 07, 2007, 08:28:16 PM Like Chinese handcuffs? That requires lots of precision and luck. It works if it's done right, though.

It was supposed to prove how resourceful and tough we were. 14 year olds, in New Mexico. No whining babies there! Only for "elite leaders," which in English meant those who would not complain and say how ridiculous the whole thing was. I guess the show Survivor stole the idea from the Boy Scouts. ;) |
