There isn't a Shakespearean play called "Shylock", Shylock is a character from the play "The Merchant of Venice", it's written in French on the poster under Shylock's name.
I only learnt about 'The Merchant of Venice' for my 'O' level but I am sure that Shylock was in danger of *losing* a pound of flesh. He was not *demanding* a pound of flesh
Yeah, some scientists have suggested that we all contain alleles of genes that we evolved in the past when we used to be cannibals. And the outbreak of Kuru is a definite proof of relatively widespread cannibalism. However, I think people do have misconceptions about cannibal tribes. They generally weren't killing people in order to eat them, they were at war and decided to use the remains of people after fights.Like the practice of pulling dead soldiers' teeth out to use them for prosthetics.
According to my grandmother, who met an African (ex) cannibal, the tastiest part of humans (or his favourite, anyway) is the outer side of the palm of the hand (opposite to the thumb).
@derickhaywood Yep, there's plenty of physical evidence of instances of cannibalism but it's easy to write them off as being as isolated incidents that weren't necessarily representative of the entire populace's typical traditions. Genetic evidence of this sort on the other hand demonstrates longstanding and widespread cannibalistic behaviour.
"The other famous example of cannibalism in Shakespeare is of course..." The Tempest? Really? I have a pretty firm impression of a famous example of cannibalism in Shakespeare and it's not The Tempest.

Brilliant... this'll be a good one to share on facebook for next sunday! Will you be doing one for "Halloween" and "Vampire"? :D
May I tell a joke please, two cannibals eating a clown one says to the other does this food taste funny to you? Thank you.
@Galshaer 100% correct. If only the people would wake up.
Are you kidding me?! The people in Papua New Guinea may still eat people today and certainly did in the past!
Sadly, there is a real problem with people eating pygmies, thinking that they aren't real humans... Yeah, it's just horrible to even think about.
fascinating! i learned a lot from this!

7:53 did he just stop himself from saying mindf**k?
@Galshaer hannibal the Cannibal RARW RAWR RAWR
This is pure misinformation.. the word cannibal comes from silence of the lambs
The left leaning majority of the academics tend to interpret history and the contemporary world to suit their views of equality.
