You going to keep your Corolla for 250,000 mi?

At the rate gas is going, I wish I had a corolla...

My dad kept his 76 Volvo for 475,000 miles...and my uncle had a 66 Pontiac Catalina as a daily driver from 1966 until 2005...

Initiation rites

The Satere-Mawe people of Brazil use intentional bullet ant stings as part of their initiation rites to become a warrior.[8] The ants are first rendered unconscious by submerging them in a natural sedative and then hundreds of them are woven into a glove made out of leaves (which resembles a large oven mitt), stinger facing inward. When the ants regain consciousness, a boy slips the glove onto his hand. The goal of this initiation rite is to keep the glove on for a full ten minutes. When finished, the boy's hand and part of his arm are temporarily paralyzed because of the ant venom, and he may shake uncontrollably for days. The only "protection" provided is a coating of charcoal on the hands, supposedly to confuse the ants and inhibit their stinging. To fully complete the initiation, however, the boys must go through the ordeal a total of 20 times over the course of several months or even years.[9]

Dude said in another clip that he wasn't going to do anymore. He called the ones that were going to do the 19 other times "nails"

i'm a little surprised he reacted much worse (outwardly) than some of those boys.  i know they supposedly lead a 'harder' life or something like that but there are tough guys in every culture.

He probably was shocked, and didn't go thru the mental preparation that they did...They knew that they had to do it, but he chose to do it---a diff mindset, when you chose to do something, vs a "you are part of this culture"

Plus, he's a twink biologist
