In parts of Africa, vultures are becoming scarce. Shamans and healers are trapping and killing the vultures to sell to their clients. It is believed that if you smoke vulture brains (yes, you read that right) you will be able to pick lottery numbers, win a horse races, or ace your exams. If you don't want to roll the brains into a cigarette, you can burn the brains and inhale the vapors. You can find the vulture brain right next to the snake skins, ostrich feet and donkey fat (which they say will chase away the bad spirits.) Next time Tierney goes to Africa, I'll have to tell her to try it and pick me some winning lottery numbers!
