    Rev. William Buckland, a 19th-century geologist, was known for his many oddities. Among them was his desire to eat one of every species of animal. He found some merit in almost every species he ate, except one. What animal did Buckland not like to eat?

    		Mole.

    Some sites say that he disliked bluebottles as well.

    		Nah, this was before Darwin, back then they didn't consider humans to be part of the animal kingdom.
