Useless InformationDid you know that crabs wee through their eyes? That maidenhair moss is so called because Anglo-saxons thought it looked like pubes? That Albanians have 17 different words for moustache? Astound us with your utterly useless and obscure knowledge.

Cannabinoids:The hunger-inducing affect of cannabinoids on the mammalian system (i.e., the munchies) has literary references dating back 2 and a half thousand years (it was either a Greek writing about it in ancient Egypt, or vice versa, or something like that).
It has been shown that there are natural cannabinoids within the brain, that act on the same location as those imbibed through smoking weed, and are endogenous hunger stimulators/initiators.
Cannabinoid antagonists (i.e. drugs made to look like them, but to block the effect) are currently in third stage testing as obesity treatments.
