FLATULENT TURTLE SETS OFF ALARMS
A FLATULENT turtle set off an aquarium's fire alarm after being fed a Christmas treat of Brussels sprouts. It broke wind and the bubble it created was so strong, it set off an emergency sensor inside its tank at the Sea Life Centre in Weymouth, Dorset, yesterday. It indicated the water was at a dangerously high level, so marine biologist Sarah Leaney rushed to the aquarium. Last night, she said: "When I got there, all seemed fine. I looked at the tube containing the sensor and saw a turtle beneath it. "As I watched, a few large bubbles emerged from beneath him and rose to the surface next to the tube. Straight away, I realized what must have happened. "We like to give all our animals a treat at Christmas and sprouts are a really healthy choice for sea turtles. "But they do produce similar side-effects to those experienced by humans who eat too many sprouts."

Which might be why there are no brussel sprouts to be found on Culebra?

Well, here's something really freaky...there are some guys doing a veggie stand on the spot across from Willy's Jeeps...and I was talking to Pan about it. We were saying how cool it is that it's being done and I said how much MORE cool if there were something like...fresh spinach...or green beans and Pan said, yeah, who would buy it...and I said...a LOT of people would, especially now. So I go into Milka's late this afternoon and damned if they didn't have...yes, sit down..FRESH SPINACH and GREEN BEANS! and people were PILING them up at the counter.
The only thing is...now I'm scared...how did they hear me say that???

Don't get too excited...I imagine it's all gone by now and may or may not return. But Hector is really, really trying hard. That family works like crazy and it shows. They even had wasabi paste in there the other day. Oops!!! Forgot to warn you!
