Bet this guy goes to Jack-in-the-Box: "Clearly, some time ago makers and consumers of American junk food passed jointly through some kind of sensibility barrier in the endless quest for new taste sensations. Now they are a little like those desperate junkies who have tried every known drug and are finally reduced to mainlining toilet bowl cleanser in an effort to get still higher." ~Bill Bryson Travel writer. From his interview in January web-mag: januarymagazine.com You comment on that early in the book. That Australia is like the world's best kept secret. And how you'd done a search on news stories about Australia in The New York Times and in one year there were fewer stories than had been done on bananas. That's right! It was. Literally. The country is just completely ignored. But it's not ignored because it's boring. It's just ignored because nobody is watching it. We don't pay any attention to it. Like the nuclear testing by that cult group. Right. The Aum Shinri Kyo. It's amazing. That these people could just make their own nuclear bomb, put it off in the desert and nobody would notice it. I mean, God! For four years. Right. And then it was just kind of a fluke that somebody somewhere kind of put two and two together. I never heard about a nuclear weapon made by those people (they gassed Japan's subway) - Am I sheltered?....will look for more.
