FACT

Sigurd tied his victim's head to his horse's saddle as a trophy, but while riding home the severed head's teeth grazed Sigurd's leg, and he died from the infection. And that's the tooth, the whole tooth! <

FACT

He won by 51 percent to 49 percent margin. Brendan was dressed in a policeman's uniform, had a badge number 1/2, and carried a water postil. O'Smarty was no dummy. < :-)

Crap. And I hope it's not the same type of worm that's in the bottom of a bottle of tequila.

Casu Marzu cheese from Sardinia is made with a small hole cut into it, where cheese flies are allowed to lay their eggs. The resulting maggots leave behind excretions that add flavor to the cheese!
Not to be eaten when the maggots are dead!
