Enough said. :)But the mystery of a person disappearing sounds like great material for a movie...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-77628647986849121322010-07-02T18:05:18.256-04:002010-07-02T18:05:18.256-04:00I think I'm odd because I love reading about t...I think I'm odd because I love reading about the horrifying true survival stories, especially when weird illnesses are involved.

Larvae in your eyeballs! Things eating their way out of your body! ACK!! I'm never going to the jungle EVER!!!
