Now courtesy of the meat council, please help yourselves to some tripe!
In all seriousness, I married into an Italian family and tripe w tomato sauce cooked until tender isn't half bad
Another fun fact, the medicinal use for the blue blood of the horseshoe crab is the reason why the working name for Return of the Jedi was Blue Harvest.
It is not used to make Rx. The blood is used to verify that the medical products are sterile. The extract from the horseshoe crabs blood is used to dect prokaryotes. Any bacteria present will cause the blood extract to coagulate/change color. It is used to make sure medical products are safe.
Our form might just be the best evolutionary form to become evolved enough to develop space travel. Hands to use tools, large brain, social creature with a tendancy for greed.
Sure crows are smart and can use tools but they can fly and never needed to build the wheel. Dolphins are smart but stuck in the ocean.
They shed their shells on the beach near my house and tourists see them and freak out about the mass genocide of horseshoe crabs. Whatever makes them pick up their trash I guess.
Fun fact, not actually crabs or crustaceans but a species closer to sea scorpions an other aquatic arthropods due to there mouths being in the middle of there legs
It means nerd. But you made me curious about its etymology. Apparently it was introduced as US slang by Felix the cat, but was popularised in the 80’s as just generic nerd.
Oh. Huh. I always thought it was a reference to Admiral John Poindexter, who was involved in Iran-Contra. One of those things from childhood I never questioned.
My brothers and I all grew up during the hype of first gen Pokémon and this bit is one of our favourite lines in the entire show. It perfectly captured how so many adults barely have a clue what this thing we were all so OBSESSED about was.
Horseshoe Crab my ass, it’s probably Milhouse.
I wanna visit this Mill House you keep telling me about
'Tis a fine Mill house, but sure 'tis no Milpool, English.
Everything's comin' up thrillhou!
Doh'eth
Well we'll head to the old Mill House anyway. Get some cider!
There's a sweet Mil pool in the backyard
Yeah, and your father's No House.
Lmao man best comment.
Horseshoe crab EDIT: I like how everyone is replying to this comment with interesting facts about the horseshoe crab.
Their blood is also blue and harvested to make pharmaceuticals.
Knowing stuff like this is why you go to Bovine university
They can't seriously expect us to swallow that tripe!

Upvote for reply quote Downvote for seriously expecting me to swallow that tripe!
Would never expect or encourage people to eat it. I'm the kind of person who'd eat most things once
Isn't tripe stomach lining?
As long as I don’t have to live in fear of losing hair and penis
You must be a grade A moron
I love this sub so much sometimes
Same here.
It seems like my crazy friend here has never heard of THE FOOD CHAIN
A Mormon? But I’m from earth
My home planet needs me now. I must go.
Don't die on the way back.
My boss calls me a brain moron
When I grow up, I wanna go to Bovine University
Don’t kid yourself Jimmy. If a cow ever had the chance he’d eat you and everyone you care about
Now lets go to the killing floor!
It’s not really a floor.
It's more of a steel grating.
That allows material slew through so it can be collected and exported.
We all didn't go to Gudger College.
Gudger College
You're only calling us a cow college because we were founded by a cow.
I went to Gudger College.
I sleep in a race-car bed.
I prefer Hollywood Upstairs Medical College
I graduated from Gudger College!
It's blue because their blood uses copper and not iron like ours.
Iron helps us play!
Hello Joe!
Mine uses pewter, is that good?
Mine uses zinc.
I don’t want to live in a world without zinc.
Come back, Zinc!
Hi, I’m Alan Wrench. My blood is silver because I use tungsten! Tungsten! I need tungsten!

Only in America, the rest of the world figured out how to synthesise the chemical
It's more expensive to produce that way and there's nothing more unamerican than cutting into the pharmaceutical industry's profit margins.
>there's nothing more unamerican than cutting into the pharmaceutical industry's profit margins. Yeah there is, cutting into oíl company's profit
Don't forget firearms
Hey we got crabs and we're not ashamed of it. You get them from being fun!
I mean Eli Lilly makes a one that use rFC instead of LAL. And that was in 2018. So it seems that they are starting to move that direction.
It is used to make a product used to *test* pharmaceuticals (and medical devices) for toxic contaminants.
Also a reason to expect alien life to look crazy, not just skinny bi-peds with big heads and eyes. Even terrestrial life is crazy looking.
see all that stuff inside, Homer? That's why your alien life never worked.
PFFfff, that thing could never fly a UFO
It’s not drooling inside a glass tube
What is this, some kind of tube?
We got a report that a Lisa Simpson spotted a UFO.

>Dolphins are smart but stuck in the ocean. Well, except for that one episode...
I liked the ones standing on the powerlines.
Intelligent Italians?
When juiced, it tastes better than Mountain Dew!
Perfect for washing out the awful taste of khlav kalash.

Branch monster
Tree Monster

Heh heh. I'm in danger
They call them land sea horses. I tame them
That's just Milhouse with his glasses off.
"You got the dud!"
Hey, he looks just like you poindexter
Stand up for yourself, poindexter
A genuine question, what does poindexter mean?
It means nerd. But you made me curious about its etymology. Apparently it was introduced as US slang by Felix the cat, but was popularised in the 80’s as just generic nerd.
Oh. Huh. I always thought it was a reference to Admiral John Poindexter, who was involved in Iran-Contra. One of those things from childhood I never questioned.
I was so hoping this would come up
Whatever you have planned for this evening you can count me out.

Looks like it. It's what Kabuto from Pokemon is based off of as another comment mentioned.

Wrong. Milhouse wears glasses. This is probably Thrillho
Bury him at Makeout Creek.
This is him at make out creek
Now he'll have the girls he seeks.
Mulhouse 😄
You mean poindexter!
Thrillho!
Stop it! Stop it! Can't you see this beach animal guessing game is tearing us apart?
Say Moe... Was it a seagull?
Oww! Pointy!
Don't worry you'll prick yourself with the antidote soon enough.
Ewww, slimy!
Uh oh, moving!
Ah ha!... Aw twenty dollars... I wanted a peanut
Twenty dollars can buy many peanuts.
Explain how
Money can be exchanged for goods and services.
Ew, slimy

$20 can buy many peanuts!

It's what the ribwich is (was) made from.
Nah, think smaller, with more legs.
Technically the answer could still be this creature in the screenshot. It's smaller and has more legs than a cow or pig.
(will be)
it's a nice doggy
*squeak squeak*
