An Inordinate Fondness For Stars And Beetles

Brrrr! Sure is getting chilly! This Donner Party Snowglobe brings grim desperation to your desk. Give it as a gift to your plumpest friends just to let them know you’d eat ‘em in a pinch. Algonquin myth says that the spirit of the Windigo enters a man and causes him to crave the flesh of men. People who survived starvation scenarios where they ate human flesh found themselves craving it even when food was plenty. Recent studies indicate that a brain virus-transmitted by eating human flesh- may be responsible. 

John Sutter was none impressed with the Donner party, he sent a rescue team and then wrote in his diary: “Often I sent them aid; they killed and ate first the mules, then the horses, then they killed and ate my good Indians.”
