I have always wondered how humans ever discovered a way to treat manioc. You would thing that after seeing what happened to the first person to sample it, they would have left it alone.

I wonder the same thing about the Japanese fascination with that puffer fish. I imagine the scene in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade where the Nazis are trying to figure out how to get into the cave where the Grail is. "Next volunteer"!!
