Of course the Japanese eat weird things like blowfish testicles… what could be weirder than that?

DEADLY BLOWFISH TESTICLES! From The Guardian:

Seven diners in northern Japan
fell ill and three were still in hospital today after eating blowfish
testicles prepared in a restaurant not authorised to serve the
poisonous delicacy.

The owner of the restaurant in Tsuruoka city,
who is also the chef, had no licence to serve blowfish and was being
questioned on suspicion of professional negligence, police official
Yoshihito Iwase said.

Iwase said the seven men ordered sashimi and grilled blowfish testicles at the restaurant last night.
