The best solution to many "infestation" problems is simply to eat the offending beast. I've eaten smoked lamprey in Germany, and it was excellent. I believe there is a tradition in England that the reigning monarch is served Lamprey Pie for Christmas each year ... or was that New Years? In any case, I think I'll have a tee made that says "EAT MORE LAMPREY". Cheers! Stay on the beach. The natives over there are cannibals. They eat liars with the same enthusiasm as they eat honest men. http://www.cybertiki.com [ Edited by: cybertiki on 2004-12-23 17:06 ]
