worry, already pillareis the grace of the picture below.
Here again, eager to show you a little wonderland / curiosities that gives us this world. The truth is that today I spent some pretty funny while giving a lecture on atomic structure to my ward. It was quite perplexed when I told him everything consists of atoms. It took about 10 minutes wondering, and my hair too? and nail polish? and water? and food? The truth is that I did much grace but also reassured me that I did all those questions, at least show some curiosity. Worse was to say, oh yeah? well! That would be worrying. As disturbing as your mother catch you staring at her cleavage ... that would indeed be worrying ... It is a tradition not think anything evil about the family. And the traditions are traditions. I have the view that the traditions should be examined critically, since some are not entirely healthy. As the mania of goats pulling the bell, I think that's healthy. All However, today there is the matter of traditions, if not of Kuru, a curious thing that many of you will be curious to say the least ... so let's see!.
special gang of pals.
The Kuru, as its name suggests, is something that nobody knows what the hell it means. I did not know either until I met by chance on a book and said ... aaahhh, that it was. And as I looked so funny I said to myself, dammit! we will write it.
All this is because some Aboriginal tribes of New Guinea were dying systematically by an unknown illness with a symptom rather disconcerting. Most patients died with horrible convulsions, as if possessed.
This strange fact came to the attention of research scholars who have been wanting adventure and were launched in pursuit of discovery. One of the most adventurous was Dr. Carleton Gajdusek, Harvard University. When he arrived, the first thing he did was try to understand more the ways of the tribe members and to assume that the disease was something hereditary.
All customs seemed more or less normal. All pissed, shat, talked, but there was a practice that the good doctor ... he was not too convincing. In the tribe was TRADITION eat your brain father (and other things) to acquire and wisdom. This is a good thing and a bad one. The good thing, at least know where originates the wisdom and such ... the bad ... well it is not healthy to eat the brain of a relative. At least I have not planned it at least in the near future. The good doctor began to think it had something to do.
is clear, no?
dismissed the idea that the disease was something inherited and began to think of eating that relatives might be something not quite right. Yes, unfortunately cannibalism has its pros and cons. It's like that joke: "I liked the soup de mamá? Sí, pero la voy a echar de menos" (carcajadas generalizadas) Vale, que si te estrellas en los Andes te tiene que comer a tu compañero muerto porque no te queda otra, sí. Pero luego, cuando te salven, no le digas a tu novia/o, lo buena que está esgrimiendo un cuchillo de carnicero. Que vale, que los mordiscos en el pescuecillo dan gustirrinin, pero sin sangre gracias (vease anuncio Que Muffin )
Yo lo pondría con vinagreta balsámica.
This slow virus is new, as the Kuru can reach incubation periods of up to 30 years. Of course, when it comes out, do not usually last a year, on average 4 months hard.
This Prion called slow virus. According to the Great Wise (see Wikipedia): prions are supramolecular aggregates (glycoproteins) acellular, pathogens with abnormal folding beta-sheet rich, and communicable diseases. Typically produce diseases affecting the central nervous system (CNS), called transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs). Prions are not living things.
But with good-natured face.
has become clear. Come on, that mad cow disease (also called bovine spongiform encephalopathy) also caused by prions evil.
The Kuru has some phases, which are clearly distinguishable and are 3: Ambulatory
-Phase, in which the patient suffers from tremors varied and great difficulty in coordinating movements. Sedentary
-Phase, which in sick is even more tremors, can not go by itself and start the chola írsele with serious difficulties in articulating words.
-Terminal Phase, in which the sick and barely speaks, suffers from urinal and fecal incontinence, eventually dying from convulsions.
Another curious fact is that Kuru, literally means "Death of Laughter" and the sinister humor verifying spent by members of the tribe. Luckily, it was explained to all who were dying from eating their loved ones and the Kuru is now in danger of extinction, which is fine.
will not look bad, you eat.
So my advice is that if you go to practice cannibalism, always Legs, which is the most tender and lean. Do not eat any of guts and offal, which is asquerosete. It's funny because where I live, is usually much do Rabo de Toro, or testicles (called also, fried pork balls), but well, everywhere there are customs and culinary traditions despicable should be reviewed for a better life and you know, Legs! I said!
