Read that letter to Branson. Those sponge shafts he keeps coming back to happen to be a big delicacy in India. Its funny enough, but the author obviously has no idea about Indian cuisine. Can’t say its his fault, though. Virgin should be offering passengers simpler fare, or at least another option.

After the Fissure of Rolando, you might want to drop by Moloka’i for a hike where you can see (what I was told some people call) Phallic Rock. This one doesn’t take much imagination at all:

This is exactly why I don’t eat blowfish testicles. I hate limb paralysis.
