Cannibal Story:

Most folks are familiar with the term " Debbie Downer" (used to describe a party pooper), but very few realize its historical origin.

In 1846, the pioneering Donner-Reed party was trapped for four months by a snowstorm in California's Sierra Nevada mountains and resorted to cannibalism to survive. One of the young victims, Debbie, was the daughter of expedition co-leader, George Donner and the understandably glum survivors who consumed her remains became known as Debbie downers.

True story.

Dear my44:

When you find yourself in hot water, add a splash of extra virgin olive oil and some fresh veggies and the cannibals will be very grateful.
