I never meant this to be a food blog...

I was wondering about what to have for dinner tonight; I'm soooo hungry! Anyway, I thought I'd have a Chinese take-away:

Y'see it isn't actually a noodle, but a type of human tapeworm Taenia solium that can grow (so I hear) up to 22.9m long in your intestines, where IT will eat YOUR noodles. mmm, nice. I nabbed the picture from the site below, where there's also a bit more info:
