Ripley's Believe It or Not! The famous French composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) would only eat white-colored food! He lived in a tiny apartment in Paris for 27 years and never let anyone else inside. Phew! Limburger cheese from Belgium, gets its color and pungent flavor from the same bacteria - brevibacterium linens - that makes feet smell bad! Be afraid... the "sheep eating" plant Puya Chilensis of the South American Andes has barbed leaves that ensnare passing sheep, and as they starve and decompose, the plant uses them as fertilizer!
