When my sense of taste (don't laugh) returns, my health was sure to follow - and so it did. I feel much improved and have a new appreciation of the wondrous gift that is the ability to swallow without pain. And my spirits have also been lifted by yet another amusing post by the resident Komodo Dragon of the Culture list. The Komodo Dragon is a recent subscriber to the list and often has problems with typing and speaking, but never fails to come out with inspiring quotes:

Whhhy shold a repptile hav moral probblemsss with killling and eating a mmammmmalll??? Not to menshun thatt asss an asoshial repptile I ddo not beliv I havvv anny moralsss at all. Onnly soshial annnimalsss beliv they have moral obligationssss to otherssss.

Butt one thing I ddo nott underssstand. Once I hav killled the victim, howw do I then usssse the body to gett a fassssster connexshun? I hav tried eating the boddy, and it did tasssste good. Butt my connexion is sssstilll only 300 baud.

And on dating, the dragon has this to say:

Whyyy nnot ttake thhe dirrectt apppproach? Bite himmm on the leggg. He willl bee dead in 72 hoursssss of dissseassse. Hiss territorrry willl bee taken by anotherrr male whooo mayyy bee morre favorabbly inclinnned.

Youu cann thenn eat rotttten casssowary partssss together andd layy yourrr eggsssss - sssimple anddd directtt approachhh.

Heed its words - you know they are true!
