“Scorpion bites latest drug craze
May 01, 2003

THE trendy and the elite in India's wealthy western state of Gujarat, bored with mundane drugs, are turning to the sting of a scorpion to get their kicks, a press report said.

The Times of India said the affluent head in their cars to tribal areas near the coastal town of Bharuch, where scorpions abound, seeking their fixes.

Locals have put up stalls under trees and keep a number of the arachnids in tin cans with perforated lids.

After the customer pays a fee of 150 to 200 rupees (about $A5-7) the scorpion is produced and placed on the body of the thrill-seeker, who is then viciously stung.

Users say after the initial pain the venom produces an illusionary, floating feeling.

"You won't die," promises one vendor, named in the report only as Nathu. "You should try it at least once ... a lifetime experience."

Nathu insists customers pay upfront -- to make sure he doesn't get stung himself.

“"illusory, floating feeling"

I've felt the same way while backpacking. At least the scorpion is cheaper.”

“I like "Toad-licking" better.”

“You're on the toad now!”

“Hey! Quit Bogarting the scorpion!”

“Let me try a nickel of that...”

“Back in the 70’s, my father asked if I thought that kids would smoke horse crap if it got you high. I can’t wait to hear his take on this one.”

“Apparently your dad didn't know where shrooms come from...”

“V. People would put a banana peel in the oven, scrape it and smoke it too...”

“tree - They called it mellow yellow...”

“Quite rightly!”

“Dude! That was the best scorpion hit I ever had. I have no feeling in my limbs. Is this normal?”

“so how much do you all want treebeard and myself to bring back from Az in Oct?

“you people are crackheads! :-D”

“Bring as much as possible! I have not had a good scorpion sting in months. I need a fix NOW!”

“First one's free, Wounded!”

“V. People would put a banana peel in the oven, scrape it and smoke it too..."

ok, I have to be the one to ask, HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?”

“You never wondered why treebeard buys all those bananas, but you never find any peels in the garbage?”

“toad piss...oh yeah :)”

“Sweet! Thank a lot tree! Until you guys get back, I will have to be content with sniffing white-out and rubber cement.”

“What, no pharmceutical-grade amyl nitrate?”

“Just ran out.”

“Damn...”

“Just don't set me up in a 'sting' operation!”

“I know! Oh well, guess I will just take a wiff of some of the paint thinner.

YYYYEEEEEHHHHAAAAAWWWWWWWWWW!!!”

“hey, what's "amyl nitrate"? the only place i've ever heard of that is in Fear & Loathing in LV.”

“and you all wonder about the true story of me and the banana chip!


nough said?”

“Don't get me started on 'Fear and Loathing'

How about a pint of raw ether?”

“There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than
a man in the depths of an ether binge, and I knew we'd get into that rotten stuff really soon

Hunter Thompson”

“Is that a bug or poop hanging off of her mouth?”

“It looks like a little scorpion to me...”

“you NARK!”

“Oh man look what GOD did,
it wasnt GOD, it was you, you NARK

hahah”

“Mapleleaf's on the scorpion again...”

“LOl

My Birthday is in Nov.”

“Looks like treebeard's going to have to go to her office and round her up today...”

“So the 'troll' threads are worse than this one?

I think you are all trolls.”

“duh!”

“BP, then report to the 'trolls' thread, please!”

“Besides, they seem to like you...”

“Don't knock ether until you try it!







What do you think is the real reason why geneticists like to work with fruit flies. Yeah sure it's the high reproduction rate and the short generational turnover that make mutations easy to manipulate. It's really the ether that you have to use to knock them out for counting, container transfer, and euthanization.


Yep. Genetics was my favorite class in college. My flies got our lab group extra credit baybee.”

“how about a snake bite. or what about toad skins”

“Give me a brake!!!!!!!
