Self-Admitting Cannibal Dies

Some people like chicken, and some like turkey.

Others like pork, often labeled “the other white meat.”

And there are some still who like the “other, other meat.”

In the recent obituary of Tobias Schneebaum, it describes how he practiced cannibalism and homosexuality among a tribe in the Amazon jungle. And, not only did he do this, but he wrote a book about it, and would often give lectures, describing what his food tasted like.

Let’s hope that there aren’t any “gay, Jewish active cannibals” there too.
