@Robin L's gift list above reminds me of a (reputed) classified ad from days of yore.

EDIT: And speaking of tapeworms... I once read that at least one "diet pill" of the pre-Harrison Drug Act, Snakeoil days of pharmacy, contained tapeworm eggs. Pretty much guaranteed to work, I suppose.

Oh, and speaking of snakeoil... the redoubtable Wyeth pharmaceutical company (gobbled up by Pfizer in 2009*) got its start, quite literally, selling snake oil (or snake-oil-esque) products in the 19th century. Oh, and the drug lord Wyeths were relatives of the artist Wyeths. But I digress...

* don't ask me why I know this.

A little story from my youth: (not safe for those with weak stomachs)
I worked at a foundry for a while in my 20s. A scrawny kid started his new job, and a grizzled old guy talked him into trying Red Man chewing tobacco. After about 20 minutes the old guy came up behind him, slapped him on the back (causing him to swallow the wad of tobacco), saying "How do ya like the Red Man, boy?"
The kid turned a shade of green and went home sick. In the next 3 weeks he put on 20 lbs of muscle and began looking a lot healthier. I asked him about it and he said the night he went home sick, he crapped out a 3 foot tapeworm.

The nice thing about a cactus that doesn't survive... it doesn't really look all that much different alive or muerto.

Beware, some become illegal the moment you slice and dry them.
