Do people still play Trivial Pursuit? Yes. But not with Komodo Dragons. Speaking of vile bacteria, when a man bites a Komodo Dragon, the wound is generally fatal. This is also true when a man bites a dog. Seriously. No joke. The poem about man bites dog, to that effect of "the dog it was that died" is based on a medical fact that a human bite is very, very dangerous. Russel Crowe take note. When an animal bites through clothes, the bite is effectively cleansed, and doctors rarely worry about infection. If however an axe penetrates clothing and hits bone, it will very often infect. The wound also glissades under the skin, and the bone wound will be up to 2 inches away from the entrance wound. Doctors often miss it. If one has a bone wound, insist on anti-biotics as a precaution. EC<:-}

(off topic) ... the bite of the Komodo Dragon... ...full of vile bacteria... only needs to break the skin with a quick and single bite, and then follow and wait until infection falls it prey. The source of the vile bacteria is not unique, as from the Komodo Dragon, but could be made to appear in E.C. for example. Its simple, a dentist would only need to drill a hundred holes in E.C.'s dentures and have E.C. eat only raw meat. Another method would be to place fine stainless steel pads between your teeth and cheek and eat raw meat.
