    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Not sure if its still there, we went for a month back in 1980, Gary Sobers had a bar / restaurant called "Greensleeves" that was supposed to serve the best food on the island. It was the best food we had while we were there that's for certain, and returned several times, but the foot long centipedes crawling up the walls were always a bit of a distraction LOL. (maybe they were only 6" but they seemed bigger at the time)

    The Harrison's Cave guide told us there were Toads down there the size of dinner plates! Pleased to report we never encountered one.
