Ordinary Gweilo

This may have been reported elsewhere, but I haven't seen it.

New Scientist magazine reports that Durian and booze is worse than a stinking hangover:

ACCORDING to Asian folklore, eating the famously pungent durian – known as the "king of fruits" – along with alcohol can kill you. Now intrepid researchers have confirmed there may be some truth in this supposition. It is the first time combining a fruit with booze has been scientifically linked to an adverse reaction.

One of the strangest signs I've ever seen in a hotel was in Penang, Malaysia.  They kindly requested guests not to bring durian into the hotel.  Why?  Because durian is stinkier than stinky tofu (well, maybe not quite that bad), and certainly less delicious. 

I never knew that one wasn't supposed to drink and durian, but I'll certainly bear it in mind.
