Chicks from Mongolia apparently dig that kind of stuff.

Well, millions of women are taking a hormone extracted from mare urine. I'm sure the other remains of the dead stallions were destined for the glue factory. Seems a bit hypocritical to me...

They could've just let Hormel come pick it up instead of incinerating it.

When I was serving with the UN in Egypt, the Chinese officers used to collect seahorses from the Suez Canal. When I asked Liu, he said, "It's a Chinese aphrodisiac."
The Chinese officers did not come with their wives, and they all volunteered for the two-year tour, so I asked my Chinese colleague, "Liu, your wife isn't here, and you are here for two years. Are you saying Chinese men have a problem in this area?"
Realizing the cul-de-sac he had run into, Liu, sheepishly said, "No, no. No problem here."
The Chinese ate some really weird stuff, and took other weird stuff as "aphrodisiacs."

What is wrong with panda testicles?

I suppose nothing - if they'd just take one and not kill the whole panda...

Yeah, like the whole rhinoceros tusk thing. I don't know, I try to be tolerant of other peoples' customs, but this one seems (a) stupid (I mean, really, rhinoceros tusks make a man more potent? How did humanity expand to its current size without everyone having plentiful rhinoceros horns?) and (b) pernicious. Hunting a species (that is not even indigenous to China) to extinction because you believe you need its horns to get it up is unacceptable.

If you could just convince them that it's just fingernails...

We had a group of "Eye-tal-yuns" rent two of our townhouses while they were here doing contract work. They were from northern Italy. All but one was married. The ages ranged from 23-45. The married guys had a saying when asked "Are you married?". "Only in Italy". They handled business while they were here and several would skip their allotted time provided by the company to go back home for two weeks to see their family. They liked the American women.

Some are just flat dangerous. Female circumcision amongst the Massai tribes we work with in Kenya is horribly dangerous - also demeaning. But it's been custom of their people for almost a thousands years. They also used to have (might still have) a custom that for the boys to become warriors they must be circumcised by the tribes elder priest in front of their whole tribe and if the boys show any visible sign of pain or discomfort they are ostracized and become pariahs.

lance armstrong panda?

How many horses to make 13 pounds of genitals? Why not use mules? Hung like a mule,
