8 Weirdest Restaurants in the World

If you want to spice up your dining experience, here are some suggestions for places you can dine on:

1. Cannibalistic Restaurant in Japan (Nyotaimori)

As the literal meaning of the name suggests (female body plate), you’ll be dining on a dead woman’s body. Well, obviously this one’s edible and synthetic. It’s like eating on an operating room as their tables and chairs are designed like operating room tables. This restaurant is appropriate for people who actually want to experience what it is like to operate like surgeons. But this one’s not for the weak hearted.

2.  Toilet Restaurant in Taiwan (Marton Theme Restaurant)

When one enters the restaurant, the last thing that they’ll be thinking about is to eat. But ever since it opened, it has already become a major attraction in

5 Odd Traditions from Around the World

It’s funny how many strange cultural traditions revolve around death and dying.  Although the world is full of very odd traditions concerning, for example, rites of passage (ritual scarring, super sweet sixteen parties, and so on), marriage (a lasso to bind the couple together?), childbirth (smoking cigars to mark the occasion), and any number of other life events, it is the traditions centered on the afterlife that tend to come across as bizarre and sometimes unspeakable to other cultures and later civilizations.  Here are just a few odd traditions that might have you shaking your head in disbelief.

1. Sati.  Anyone who is familiar with traditional Norse funerals will likely recognize Sati, the Hindu custom by which a widow throws herself atop her husband’s funeral pyre, effectively committing suicide.  The difference is that the woman is not a virgin (probably) and the act is voluntary (the Norse tradition involves a virginal adolescent getting strapped to a flaming barge to accompany the dead man to the afterlife).  The act of Sati has been attributed to the fact that a woman’s life was virtually over when her husband died, although there is much to suggest that social pressure played a role.

And then the fight started…

 

My wife sat down on the couch next to me as I was flipping channels.
She asked, ‘What’s on TV?’
I said, ‘Dust.’
And then the fight started…
******************************************
My wife and I are watching “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire” while we were in bed.. I turned to her and said, “Do you want to have sex?”
“No,” she answered.
I then said, “Is that your final answer?”

Daughter’s letter

A mother passing by her daughter’s bedroom was astonished to see the bed was nicely made and everything was picked up. Then she saw an envelope propped up prominently on the center of the bed. It was addressed, “Mom.” With the worst premonition, she opened the envelope and read the letter with trembling hands:

Dear Mom: It is with great regret and sorrow that I’m writing you. I had to elope with my new boyfriend because I wanted to avoid a scene with Dad and you. I’ve been finding real passion with Ahmed and he is so nice-even with all his piercings, tattoos, beard, and his motorcycle clothes. But it’s not only the passion Mom, I’m pregnant and Ahmed said that we will be very happy. He already owns a trailer in the woods and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. He wants to have many more children with me and that’s now one of my dreams too. Ahmed taught me that marijuana doesn’t really hurt anyone and we’ll be growing it for us and trading it with his friends for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want. In the meantime, we’ll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS so Ahmed can get better; he sure deserves it!! Don’t worry Mom, I’m 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself. Someday I’m sure we’ll be back to visit so you can get to know your grand children.

Your daughter, Judith

PS: Mom, none of the above is true. I’m over at the neighbor’s house. I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than my report card that’s in my desk center drawer. I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home.
