At what point did someone get so hungry that after sitting amidst a bunch of 5 foot tall, exceptionally pointy thistles, he decided to forge into said thorn and spike covered bush, lop off a bud, drop it in boiling water for around 18 minutes and eat it?
(Mostly since i want to know where i can send the thank you card.)
Mmmm… artichokes.

Artichokes I can understand. But I have no idea how someone thought that nettles could possibly be edible, and even tasty.

This post reminds me of a guy I once knew, named Arthur. He was the local homeless guy where I went to high school, and he used to beg money off of people so he could get his dollar shot bottles of booze. He was actually in the paper the other day. It seems that some woman got mad at her husband for going out drinking with his friends, and offered Arthur a dollar if he'd kill the three men. Arthur, being drunk as usual, went and grabbed the men in order by the neck and strangled them all. It was a big thing in the papers. I still remember the headline: Artichokes 3 for $1.
