    Ever heard of Durian?

    Doesn't sound very pleasant...the fruit equivalent of skunk.

    You can buy it in Asian markets here but I haven't had the nerve. Supposedly, it smells so bad that it's consumption is banned in many hotels and public places throughout Asia.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Interesting that, Carlo. I'd never heard of it before in spite of having lived in that part of the world for 3 years.
