Vultures in South Africa are under threat of extinction because gamblers are willing to pay a premium to smoke their dried brains. According to The Guardian, the practice is believed to bestow good luck on the smoker.
What a stupid, superstitious, unscientific idea, eh? It’s like they’ve never even heard of homeopathy, or chiropractic, or harmonic acupuncture! How primitive!
Vulture Brains Filter, anyone?
Can I buy one of those empty boxes from the Cow Shop?
¡Sounds like chienese medicine!.
Is that where the phrase ‘he’s a real birdbrain’ comes from?

Wow, I need to smoke some vulture brain to clear my head from this one
Yeah, but on th Dark Continent, has anyone got a light?
Nurse Myra: Hmm. I’ll get the marketing department onto it right away!
Alfred: Hello and welcome to The Cow! Yes, it sounds like Chinese medicine but it’s actually South African nonsense. Imagine!
(Nice signo de admiración invertido there, by the way).
Anonymous – or perhaps the King: No.
Malach: You could smoke a whole friggin’ aviary and I doubt it would help.
Joey: Which particular Dark Continent are you talking about?
Yeah, Revrend …
… as if studyin a book startin wif “Let there be light” coud evr lead fokes into a Dark Age!
Th imprudent person atones,
By offering wit on headstones:
“One nevr refrains,
Pickin dangd vultures’ brains,
Till th vultures, in turn, pick one’s bones.”
Hahaha! 10/10!
Vulture brains?? Is this a bad joke or are you serious? If it’s real, don’t tell anyone in the deep south or brainy kids will start disappearing before final exams!
“Hey man. take a hit off this! I garintee a “A” on the spellin test!”
It’s real, sadly. Like all woowoo, it defies commonsense and generally makes the world a crappier place.
Your blog really frightens me these days.
So when’s “The Rev Anaglphs Book of Stupid Beliefs and the Dumb Fucks That Believe Them”, coming out?
It frightens me too..
