Something to Give You the Willys

THAILAND-SCORPION-QUEENHow would you like to spend 33 days locked up with 3,000 scorpions? I guess this is the world record. I personally would rather not spend one night with one scorpion, but some cultures see things differently.

Scorpions are considered a delicacy in some parts of Asian. By delicacy, I mean that they eat scorpions. It is a fact that many 3rd world countries eat all sorts of insects. Insects are very high in protein. They are actually a very nutrious food source. Now that doesn't mean that I am that excited about eating insects. I prefer to eat chicken.
