Sex and ...

Not to mention the getting high for recereational purposes. Wonder if puffer fish works on humans?

Well, there are a history of puffer fish related deaths in Japan. And you need to take a special course and exam to be allowed to serve it. I don't know if it is true, but I heard the final exam basically consists of making sashimi out of Fugu (puffer) and eating it in front of a panel. If you cut it right (and don't get die), you pass;-).

Supposedly, some disenchanted Japanese housewives have even performed Death By Fugu on their husbands.

I have had Fugu in Japan and it is said that there is a slight level of toxin still left that tingles on your tongue and numbs or relaxes you a little bit... I can't say that I am certain that I felt it. But I did notice my Japanese friend held back for a while before he dug in - all the while keeping an eye on me;-)

Lol, great friend! Soo.. whatever the dolphins are getting high on is not working on humans. Bummer... seemed so natural!

Thanks for sharing Philippe. Awesome footage.

All I could think about when I saw that was Training Day. "Didn't know you liked to get wet, dog."

On Naviti Island in Fiji we were hunting the reef when the village elder came swimming in with a huge puffer on his pole spear. He simmered it in coconut milk for hours and served it to us. It was awesome! Then in Mexico we were hunting with a local diver and he specifically targeted the white puffers with brown spots. Again, the fish was amazing. Of course in each case we watched our native bruddahs take the first bite! AUWE!!

And the tingling?....couldn't tell if it was the puffer or the constant grog ceremonies we had with the village elders. Of course, I had the longest, deepest, and most relaxed dives EVAH while in Fiji...compliments of the constant Kava mellowness.
