Of course, if you've ever seen a turkey close up, you start to realize why they might try alternative solutions to reproduction.

How do you find this stuff? You don't really trawl through the net for hours on end looking for things like this do you?

Now I read it. I'm a bit amazed really. But the second question is interesting too. i'd love to have grasshoppers or worms or ants at least once in my life. I had a biology teacher who ate a grasshopper once, he said they're a bit sweet-tasting.

Knack is pronounced "nak", but we could always speak French and annoy CC if you like.
