I Would Love To Go And See

The Savage, Rocky Shores Of Christmas Island, 200 Miles South Of Java, In The Indian Ocean. It's November, The Moon Is In Its Third Quarter, And The Sun Is Just Setting. In A Few Hours From Now, On This Very Shore, A Thousand Million Lives Will Be Launched.

The More You Go On, The Less You Need People Standing Between You And The Animal And The Camera Waving Their Arms About.

I Don't Like Rats, But There's Not Much Else I Don't Like. The Problem With Rats Is They Have No Fear Of Human Beings, They're Loaded With Foul Diseases, They Would Run The Place Given Half The Chance, And I've Had Them Leap Out Of A Lavatory While I've Been Sitting On It.

There's A Small Worm Called Loa Loa Filariasis. This Parasite Can Survive In One Environment Exclusively- Namely, Underneath The Skin And Inside The Eyes Of Human Beings. Children And The Elderly In Tropical Regions (usually The Poorest) Are The Most Widely Affected. A Painful, Slow Death Is Virtually Certain. The Worm Can Actually Live In The Host For 17 Years Before The Host Finally Dies.
