He'll learn what little he knows from
watching Discovery Channel, paying other people to guide him about,
and living a second-hand life.

Ever climb down into a cave on a volcanic Island in search of a trap door
spider that lives in bat guano?
I have.
Ever handle a just born pair of baby gorillas?
I have.
Ever track through a rain forrest in Trinidad's Centipede island in search of a
giant foot long centipede?
I have....and bloody hell, we found two!

Forget it, Pete. By the time I was 20 I'd been on 11 NY Zoological Society
expeditions through the Museum of Natural History where my father worked for 25
years as a Naturalist.
You lose again!
