Time travel is an intriguing concept that, according to
scientists, Einstein’s E=mc2 makes feasible—if you’re heading to the future. Stephen
Hawking insists going back in time is impossible. Who knows? However, if the
ability exists, when you go to the days of knights and ladies, be sure you don’t
become a damsel in intestinal distress. Otherwise, here’s what’s in store:
1. Should
a doctor suspect you have internal bleeding, he might prescribe a tincture of ethanol
mixed with a ground-up mummy robbed from an Egyptian grave. Somewhat pricy, in any
case.
2. If
struck by a stroke, however, you could enjoy powdered human skull mixed with
chocolate. A little gritty, but yum!
3. While
hobnobbing with England’s King Charles II, he may offer you his personal
tincture, “The King’s Drops,” consisting of human skull powder mixed with
alcohol. Bottoms up! Yet, the skulls that create these scrumptious cures come
from Irish burial sites, so maybe Slainte! is more appropriate.
4.Wounded
during your Gothic Getaway? A bandage soaked in human fat is the Neosporin of the
day.
5. A
good human blubber massage will ease the gout you’ve picked up, pigging out at
all those fabulously fatty feasts in the Great Hall.
6. While
not easy to procure, still-warm human blood makes an amazing energy drink. If
you’re traveling on a budget, you can linger after an execution and, for a
small fee, purchase a steaming cup of hoodlum hemoglobin.
7. Before
you return, the Franciscan friary’s recipe for human blood marmalade is a marvelous souvenir.
As Renaissance genius Leonardo da Vinci said, "We preserve our life with the death of others. In a dead thing insensate life remains which, when it is reunited with the stomachs of the living, regains sensitive and intellectual life." Who are we to argue?
