Fugu - seafood version of Russian roulette
2008-02-07 09:00:00 Fugu or pufferfish is one of the world’s deadliest foods. That also makes it one of the most desired things to try. The reason why fugu is so deadly is because it contains a neurotoxin called tetrodotoxin - which is over 1,200 times deadlier than cyanide! Don’t know if I would dare to try if I got the chance… (more…)
For the love of (the looks of) Fugu
2007-10-31 09:00:00 I have never tried to eat Fugu. It sounds scary, but I will try it if (when!?) I get the chance. I do love how the blowfish looks though.

Deadly Puffer Fish,Fugu,Sold as Food.--Photos
2007-09-25 14:55:00 BANGKOK, Thailand - Unscrupulous vendors in Thailand have been selling meat of the deadly puffer fish disguised as salmon, causing the deaths of more than 15 people over the past three years, a doctor said Thursday.Although banned since 2002, puffer fish continues to be sold in large quantities at local markets and restaurants, said Narin Hiransuthikul of Bangkok's Chulalonkorn University Hospital."Some sellers dye the meat of puffer fish and make it look like salmon which is very dangerous," Narin said.Narin said over the past three years more than 15 people have died and about 115 were hospitalized from eating the fish.The ovaries, liver and intestines of the puffer fish contain tetrodotoxin, a poison so potent that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration says it can "produce rapid and violent death."The fish is called fugu in Japan, where it is consumed by thrill-seeking Japanese gourmets for whom the risk of poisoning adds piquancy.Every year, there are reports of people dying or...

OMG! A fugutive stole Crystal Gayle?s tour bus
2007-01-27 08:43:01 In a bizarre turn of events, the tour bus that normally carries country music’s long-haired beauty Crystal Gayle, was used as an escape vehicle by fugitive prison escapee Christopher Daniel Gay. Gay, who escaped while being transported between states, was eluding police when he began his journey to Florida from Tennessee in Gayle’s blue Prevost tour bus. "I am glad that no one is hurt. I wish he would have gone to see his mother, who is very sick, instead of joy riding in Florida." said Gayle from her Nashville, Tenn. home. Thursday evening (Jan 25), at about 6:00 PM, Gayle’s office was contacted by USA International Speedway Operations Manager Barry Williams to inquire about Gayle’s bus being in Lakeland, Fla. Williams had quickly become suspicious of the driver who identified himself as Daniel Pitts and said he was at the track to pick up NASCAR driver Tony Stewart. After being questioned by Williams, the bus driver left "to get a ... |
