Eating scientists

In highschool science one of the first things they teach us is NEVER EVER PUT YOUR SCIENCE EXPIREMENT IN YOUR MOUTH! Well apparently this is one of those cases of do as I say not as i do because scientists have put some pretty weird stuff in their mouths over the years.

Their are a lot of stories of people sampling mammoth, but as far as I can tell none of them have been confirmed officially, however in the 80's some scientists at the University of Alaska, specifically Dr. Guthrie decided to sample their 36,000 year old bison. Of coarse they ate "extra" neck meat, that wouldn't show when they displayed the ice preserved find. Apparently the meat was "well aged but still a little tough, and it gave the stew a strong 'Pleistocene' aroma"p258  What did the Pleistocene smell like?

Some geologists lick rocks, they say that you can tell the difference between different types of sediment with your taste that you can not tell apart by sight. Mole from Atlantis anyone?

Marine biologist Win Watson, a big proponent of eating what you study brought home some bio luminescent jelly fish to show his family. He left them out and the dog ate them creating glowing dog throw up.
