[font=courier new][size=8pt]I can't listen to it, because of my slow connection.

But, for some reason the idea reminds me of a little story by one of our native authors.

Just finished the Diabolical Gourmet,

I think it was not good idea to listen this after lunch...
I would never belive such a thing would happen for real.

I know what you mean Petr, even before lunch the thought of working one's way through the restaurant menu followed by fourteen steaks left me feeling a little queasy. But this play is claimed to be based on a true story. Perhaps Monsieur Gourier was a human crocodile.

With this onslaught of flesh and fat I don't know which organ fails first: Liver or heart?
