Worst database entries?

In light of PM's I've received, I want to state that I'm not a cannibal nor a Satanist. I have never eaten human flesh. To clarify, the numbers I used were copied directly from the USDA listing for pork chops on bone. I used that because Victorian-era reports claimed that cannibal tribes of the South Pacific called human meat "long pig", allegedly because meat from humans is similar to pork. I presumed that smilies in my posts would imply humor and sarcasm, but I was mistaken. I apologize for any offense and confusion. Thank you.
Obviously they have no sense of humour....or history. You're in good hands, friend!
I believe you can report those messages.2 -

Haahaa wow.
Oh well, I guess I can add to the offence when I point out that:
1. Trainee Tattooists often practice on pork skin because it is remarkably similar to human;
2. Human flesh is the only other animal flesh to make proper crackling when cooked, due to those same similarities; and
3. Human flesh smells remarkably like roast pork when it's cooking.
I'll leave people to wonder how I know all this.

I notice that the entry for human soul is all zeroes. It just so happened that the 21 grams experiment was mentioned on the front page of Wikipedia today, which was an experiment that determined a soul weighed 21g. So, I fixed that one, too:
Nutrition info was taken from a shot of vodka, because it's distilled spirits.

I'm still a little concerned about why you know so much about Victorian-era reports about cannibalism in the South Pacific
Actually, I was once really into Victorian/Edwardian era books about exploration, travel, and adventure. "How I Found Livingstone", "The Worst Journey in the World", "The Man-Eaters of Tsavo", and such. Because they're old enough to be in the public domain, I'd download the books from Project Gutenberg.
Hmm. Nice recovery, but I'm putting two and two together here...
Suspiciously well-informed about Victorian era. Seems knowledgeable about taste of human...
You're actually a vampire, aren't you?

How many calories is the will to live? I feel it being sucked from me, I'd like the negative adjustment, so I can have ice cream.11 -
Eating the ice cream will give you the will to live so it is negative calories.
Cheers, h.10 -

Yes. I worked in a lab that was working on drug delivery methods through skin. We used pig skin because of the similarities. Much of it involved sending a pulse through pig skin and immediately freeze fracturing it to examine the effect on the cell structures.3 -
Deffo bumping this1

Bumping, because I have discovered today that cumin powder is more calorie-dense than a Big Mac.
At least, according to the database.

Yeah it's time for MFP to clean up the database & and find a way to mark something as an "official" entry. Ie a caloric count that comes directly from the vendor or verified against their listed calories. Kind of like the twitter check mark.1

I legit found these and put them in as entries on Christmas 2016.

Hey, this thread has been bumped. I've actually been using the human soul entry I updated to log cocktails, since I copied the nutritional info from vodka. Just used it last night in fact to log some spiced rum.6

I didn't take a picture, but there is actually one in the database for PF Chang. Apparently one cup of rice is 0 calories, unless I misread it. I hope it is right, because that is what I ordered
. 2 -
There is a (verified!) entry for blackberries that is something like 700 calories/ounce. I don't think so!2
-
Holy *kitten*!! I'm just glad before I started, I read the stickies for getting started. The one I read said to verify all your diary entries, as they are user generated and could be inaccurate.
Some of these ranged from downright hilarious, to ludacris, to WTF. Had a great time reading through them though. Thanks

Writing "ham slice" gets me "ham, cubed." So...eh.0

So they tried to beat the system by logging a Mc Donalds two cheeseburger extra value meal ( at least 1000 plus soda) as a generic "burger and fries" entry for only a few hundred calories.
I once had someone tell me in all earnestness that they logged their bananas as small - 90 calories and then bought the largest bananas they could so they'd get more banana for the same number of calories.
