Pancakes can be dangerous for your health?

Asked by bythebay (8214points) March 5th, 2009

I just found this very tragic story. Given the amount of pancakes served up here on Fluther, we need to be very careful. Beware

@bythebay, what is it with odd deaths in Russia?

Bluefreedom's avatar

Considering what pancakes do for us here on Fluther, I’m willing to take the risks. I’ll just try not eat that many at one sitting.

@AlfredaPrufrock: Oh my, that’s horrible but oddly funny, too!

they have tons of odd deaths over there. when i was there last, we were walking over the main train tracks of the city i was visiting, and they were telling me how they find hands and feet severed there from time to time. you have to traverse the tracks to go from one side of town to another, people get bashed and they fall asleep on the tracks! and BOOM – they’re an amputee.

worth noting too: russian “pancakes” aren’t what we in the west call “pancakes”. They’re actually “blini” – thin, crepe like things (you can sorta tell in the pic in the original article).
he had to eat an assload of those things to die. of course, if he had them with caviar and sour cream, well that’s more understandable.

in view of this, though, it’s good to see fluther is popular in russia.

Oh man….. I thought it was the other “pancakes”, then I would be scared.

wundayatta's avatar

Look, if you smoke them in a bong, it’s not really a problem.

eponymoushipster's avatar

put your pancakes in the frizzer. preferably underneath a pool.

bythebay's avatar

Or, you could always have cake instead.

I’m behind on the pool and cake thing…

MacBean's avatar

The cake is a lie.

I don’t think I’d mind dying of pancakes. At least I’d die happy. (This works for “real” pancakes AND “fluther” pancakes!)

@babiturtle36 – Oooh, like in Brainstorm, when a guy puts on a certain tape and he “pancakes” to death!

btko's avatar

It didn’t really say that he died from the pancakes just that foam came out of his mouth. Cause of Death: Inconclusive.

MacBean's avatar

But “inconclusive” isn’t as interesting as “pancakes” as a cause of death. Close! But not quite.

kevinhardy's avatar

what, no waffles

tiffyandthewall's avatar

every time i look at this question, i read ‘pokemon’ in place of pancakes.
nevertheless, this is pretty interesting. i think the folding chair one is even more tragic, if that’s possible.

@Anyone feeling out of the loop on cakes, pools, frizzers… go here to see links to all of them, and more.

wundayatta's avatar

Holy Cow! There’s a loop involved??? I hope it’s not the hangman’s noose! You can’t smoke that. But you can ski down a slope on it.

I have read in other sources that it was something in the flour from being left of the shelf too long. Some kind of poison formed.
