    January 2nd, 2009 at 06:57:08 The food culture of a country develops following what the nature provides. Chinese say of themselves that they eat everything that moves. Ever tried crickets, fried cockroaches or maggots in Thailand? Similar dishes can be found throughout south-east Asia.

    January 2nd, 2009 at 08:29:04 LOL! It's for export. Filipinos can't afford it. It will be like caviar:-) Filipinos will eat everything that moves, except humans of course. But, with this newfound "gold", at least they'll spare the civet.

    January 2nd, 2009 at 13:50:50 Do beautiful wealthy young blond women in California drink cat-sh*t coffee? I would really like to see that. I would take pictures of that & keep it on my desk at work.....There are many lessons in just such a picture. Just imagine that for a moment: it really takes one's breath away.

    January 2nd, 2009 at 14:13:49 The animal eat coffee and the dropping is the coffee seed which is not digested, same stuff but just better quality bean.
