| 0:00.0 | Oh, he's cute. Mr. I can never sleep when I'm traveling. He's hugging his pillow like a sloth on a branch. |
| 0:10.0 | He couldn't sleep before. Now listen to him. Sounds like an elephant with a chest infection. |
| 0:15.0 | Well, they call him a dreamer. And now they're right. |
| 0:19.0 | All aboard, Mr. I can never sleep when I'm traveling. |
| 0:23.0 | Find all the comfort you need in the quiet lounge. |
| 0:26.0 | Piando Ferries, there is another way. Canibilism. Could you eat a whole human being? With the help of a doctor, a scientist and a chef, I set out to see if it's possible. |
| 0:46.5 | Cannibalism Part 1 The Myths |
| 0:57.0 | Serial killers who claim to be cannibals are often liars, and I can prove it. |
| 1:10.0 | Cannibalism dates back to the Paleolithic era when our ancestors ate their dead and although rare it still exists today. With the Asmat tribe of New Guinea, who eat human brains for its nutrients, |

| 1:57.9 | And more infamously the survivors of UHF flight 571 which crashed in the Andes, not only to eat the skin, muscle and |
| 2:06.4 | fat of their dead, but also the hearts, lungs and brains. |
| 2:13.0 | Cannibalism is so rare that most countries don't have a law against it. |
