Japanese Snake Eating Star Keeps Show on the Road

I thought Chinese would eat anything, alligator steaks, scorpions, deer nut, duck tongue.

This wowan eats snakes. She eats LIVE snakes.

The 20 year-old has a 10-minute performance that she repeats throughout the day.

Her normal diet – 30 snakes a day – living ones, don't forget.snake-eating.jpg

She gobbled down 120 snakes in four days at the Yasukuni Shrine Festival this summer. That was the real reason Koizumi went there…nothing about the war dead.

The snakes – about one meter long – go in head first. She chomps away while snake blood pours down her front, until the lizard is gone.

The little girl is said to be single handedly keeping one of Japan's three remaining freak shows alive…the shows, not the snakes.

I am not paying to see that.

How about you?
