National Geographic, I KEEL you. KEEL you DEED!

GAH.

So I'm in my room, watching DVDs, when Danny comes running in to tell me that there's something on the National Geographic channel I've got to see. It's one of those shows with a bunch of gross-you-out stuff and near-death-experiences-caught-on-tape kinda things.

It's kinda interesting [what's cooler than seeing a guy wipe out in an avalanche?!] and so we all started watching.

Then they got to the eating-of-various-living-creatures segment.

GAG. So, apparently there's this cheese? That... has maggots in it? And... the maggots eat the cheese? And then... excrete... the cheese? And... people eat the maggot-riddled cheese and say it's a delicacy?

Excuse me while I vomit.

Also-- on no condition EVER will I go to a place inhabited by vampire bats. Because, ew. EWWWW.

Note to self: Never leave house. Never eat cheese. Sleep in hermetically sealed bubble where no bats can come in and drink my blood.

Man, I really miss my National Geographic. *hugs and clings to it*

I ate cheese today, and it was delicious. Mmmm....cheese. You still haven't managed to deter me.

Gerald Durrell actually tried to get bitten by a vampire bat in one of his books. But they bit the horses instead. Maybe they prefer livestock but will feed on people when left no alternative. I dunno, the whole thing is a little too Brahm Stoker for me.

Some of their shows are good... Some of them have needless animal violence [Look at that mother lion who's been bitten by a snake! She'll die, and so will all her babies if we don't help her with this handy-dandy antidote we just happen to have. But wait, we can't influence their environment! Oh well for you, Mama Lion! Sucks for you and your babehs!]

Gerald Durrell rocks. I love that man.

You should have seen the video. :P
