One way of getting entertained in the dark is to watch a cave flic, most
suck, so I hereby recommend El Laberinto del Fauno (Pan's labyrinth). In it
the brave little protagonist flees the horror of the Spanish civil war by
following a magical stick insect into a labyrinth. Among other adventures,
Pan, the resident diety, tasks her with resuscitating the health of an
ancient fig tree being poisoned by a gigantic toad living beneath its roots.
She
crawls in through the mud while huge palmetto bugs (_Eurycotis floridana_
(http://bugguide.net/node/view/33670/bgimage) ) crawl all over her. Her task
is to place three magic stones in the toad's belly, so when the 350 lbs
toad starts sucking the bugs off her face with his ten foot long tongue she
get the idea of adding the stones to the mix. Muy effectivo! I highly
recommend the flic!
