Blog on Holiday: Lizards...

You can eat them, you can worship them, you can break their tails off...

Missmarketcrash apologizes profusely for being off the economy topic this week.  I'm on holiday this week with the children.   You might want to come back next week..or bear with me.  I seem to be knowledgeable about lizards today...

So, you wonder...what can you eat, worship and torture?  Lizards of course.  The seven year old is doing a report on them for homework, hence the topic.

Lizards are consumed in Central America, Africa and India.  A lizard cookbook would no doubt be filled with delicious spicy recipes given that culinary range.  Lizard with Plaintain and chili sauce?  Cassava and Lizard with pineapple chutney?  Or perhaps just a good old-fashioned Lizard curry.  

Missmarketcrash had better stop now lest she take over the homework assignment.  But, one last thought on a fact that I most sincerely cannot explain to the seven year old that we unearthed.  The largest and ugliest lizard, the Komodo Dragon can give birth without ummm...the male's contribution. See here.

I see a lot of tangents forming between Komodo Dragons and Zombie bank survivalism, but, I shall refrain.
