Let's check in on the world's most populated country for a sec, see what they're up to.
Oh...
Oh my.
This is ... insane.
A 35-year-old dude in India died "suddenly" and "unexpectedly" according to this report. However, upon an autopsy, it became quite clear what killed the man:
He swallowed a baby bird and it got trapped in his throat! Here's what I imagine this dude's last words to have been:
No, it wasn't eagle powers that this guy was after. It was fertility.
Villagers claim Yadav had been consulting a tantrik (occultist) due to struggles with infertility and suspect that swallowing the chick was part of a ritual intended to help him become a father.
Pagans gonna pagan. And occultists gonna occult.
It's 2025, and we've got guys eating entire baby birds believing some magical power within this ritual will make them fertile.
India, get it together!
Asians are smarter.
At least so we're told.
But I never let my
Beef brisket get cold.
I’m guessing the bird wasn’t a Swallow.
Tasted just like chicken.
A little too rare..................
so far this year lol.
At least the bird didn’t die, right?
I think it was..................😫
But was he one of those cultured and intelligent individuals able to get an H1b visa?
PHD..............Pretty healthfully dead.........
This reminds me of the Darwin award where the man swallowed a fish
__________________
29 January 1998, Ohio) Hungry or just plain stupid? Wednesday was a fateful day for Michael. He was shooting the breeze with a group of buddies, watching a friend clean his fish tank, when the friend complained that one specimen in particular had become a fishy menace. It had outgrown the tank, and was eating other denizens of the aquatic community.
Michael volunteered to assist. He seized the five-inch fish and attempted to swallow it. Unfortunately, the fish continued its predatory ways by sticking in his craw. As he gasped futilely for breath, turned blue, and sank to his knees, his three friends realized that something was amiss. They phoned 911 and informed the dispatcher that Michael had eaten some fish, and was having trouble breathing.
Paramedics were quickly dispatched, and they arrived to find the fish tail still protruding from the victim’s mouth. Despite their best efforts neither the fish nor the twenty-three-year-old could be resuscitated. The killer fish had claimed one last victim.
“If I dare you to jump off a bridge and you do it, you’re stupid,” Police Major Mike Matulavich said. Apparently Michael was not a victim, he was just another Darwin Awards contender.

There was an old lady who swallowed a fly...
Missed your comment.
“Safe and effective” ;)
Seriously, I don’t know about India, but in Southeast Asia, eating baby birds on the half shell is a thing. Kinda disconcerting hearing people crunch down on them in a restaurant. It’s best known as Philippine dish, where it’s called “balut”, but I saw it in Indochina.
I just don’t think we can stop this sort of thing from happening from time to time.
Why would swallowing a bird make a bird more fertile?
Swallow...., The jokes write themselves.
