Did you know?

In 1968, an Austrian anthropologist named Hans Weizl lived for some months among the natives of northern Siberia. Throughout his stay he was constantly pestered by giggling young teenage girls, who would appear at his door and pelt him with handfuls of lice and slugs, day and night. After a while, Weizl learned that among the northern Siberians lice and slug-throwing is the traditional manner for a woman to express her love for a man, and indicates that she is available for marriage (It makes you wonder what on earth they throw if they don't like you).



Sure, sure! I am so stupid. I did not understand that nagging, stealing, false accusations and murder is a sign of love and appreciation.

Well, it's up to you to find out how the world works. But if you're really not sure, go for the lice and slugs every time. :D

Gross! :vomit3:

I would not even touch lice and slugs unless I had no other choice let alone throw them at someone.  Those women have a revolting way of showing affection.  I am definitely not going to look for a woman in nothern Siberia.

Those things might be delicacies - it would be like throwing chocolates at people in the West.

Gross Darth???

Let's say for example, that the throwing of lice and slugs represented an Ancient tradition of courtship in which men and women alike understand their mutual rigths and reponsibilities and stick with them.

Compare that with the shifting sands of western divorce and exploitation.

Bring on the slugs!!

Delicacies?  Not to me.  If they are such delicacies, those women should keep the lice and slugs to themselves.

I assure I would react far more favourably to chocolate, as long as it is not the size of a brick, of course.

Why is it such a surprise someone would find this gross?  Oh, well.

It would be a far more charming tradition if it did not involve such repulsive creatures.  Why not flowers?

How about I avoid the shifting sands and the slugs?

No, no, no!

Flower are the the genitals of plants.

That would be much too sexually explicit. You could find yourself in jail for such a thing.

I once placed a large slug upon my tongue. (I found it while walking in
the woods!)

This caused my tongue to become numb for about half an hour,
as if I had been given novocaine.

(I thought this little anecdote might charm 1 or 2 people here. :wink: )

There's a book called When you lick a slug, your tongue goes numb.

From the same website:

Quote
...King Charles II, who ruled from 1660 to 1685, was in the habit
of gathering up dust and powder from the mummies of Egyptian kings
and rubbing it all over himself. 'I do this,' he said, 'to help me acquire
the ancient greatness.'
