As long as they have water to drink of course. You'll die of dehrydration long before you'll die of starvation.

Actually, in certain environments, the starvation process is greatly accelerated. If you get lost in the Amazon rainforest, you body will begin breaking down your own muscle (essentially eating itself) within a week, tops.

The Discovery Channel had a series on a while back called "I shouldn't be alive", which featured recounts of extreme survival stories. I saw the one about the people shipwrecked at sea and surrounded by hungery sharks, and the one about the group that got lost in the Amazon. (I no longer have a TV in my dorm room, so I have not seen any others. It may still be running...) Each episode goes into depth about what is actually happening inside the human body under this type of extreme stress.

They also touch upon the subject of canibalism. It turns out that after a certain point, the body shuts down the higher reasoning portions of the brain to save energy. This allows someone, who swears up and down that they would never even think about knawing on someone else's arm, to grab the salt and dig right in. Food becomes food at that point, and the animal instincts have kicked in as the primary driving force. At that point, you will do anything to survive, including killing and eating your best friend. Even cooking the food becomes a luxury secondary to survival.

It all depends on what you do. This is the biggest factor in who lives and who dies in such circumstances. Cannibalism can indisputably save your life, and since it is so nutritious and easy to digest, it does a very good job of keeping you alive. You need only a little nibble a day from a frozen corpse to survive for a very long time...

If just biting off a little skin is what you mean, I know how that tastes too. I chew my fingernails. Bad habit, but so far it has been unbreakable (even with vinegar soaked hands)...

I also enjoy the taste of blood. Yum!

Neither of which taste anything like chicken, or pork for that matter.

How many cannibals do you know that could tell you that? Somehow, I think you may be exaggerating a little...

It just amazes me what people will post about.

I give this topic the most exagerrated :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: there can be.


Worst topic in Interlopers history ftw.


**edit**
Terminator, when starting serious discussions it is always good practice to spell the topic of interest correctly. Might garner a tad more respect.

Oh, I missed that entirely. Sorry, but I am a totally visual person, and spelling does not come as naturally as drawing or mapping.

Ex: you say "apple". Most humans think of the word, because that is how the majority think: verbally. The only thing I can visualize is a 3D picture of the fruit. There is no word at all.

In other words, I suck at spelling bees.
Nevertheless, I am good at proofreading and have a wide vocabulary. I just sometime forget a letter or two, because the only reference I have when I write is how the word sounds.

No need to hang someone for that, is there? :wink:

Peace.

I find this disgusting just because of the zombie movies, where you see a pale white, half-eaten arm on the floor, or when they rip out some intestines.
