[aroid-l] Biogeography and Hollywood

From: "Eduardo Goncalves" edggon at hotmail.com> on 2002.11.27 at 16:30:45(9654) Dear aroiders, Talking about incongruency... What about a Monstera deliciosa growing in a virgin forest in Africa, +More together with gorillas? (it happened so many times I couldn?t count) Or what about american anteaters in Africa? (the Lion King) The best of all is finding a movie that was supposed to be in the Brazilian Amazonia, but there were many Philodendron bipinnatifidum (Coastal S.E.Brazil) and Epipremnum pinnatum "aureum" (Asia) hanging on trees. And people speaking Spanish, obviously!!!! Very best wishes, Eduardo. Post scriptum: I SWEAR that some of you are asking: Don?t they speak Spanish there??? (LOL) > ok, i really need to get a life if that's what i can find to critique in a > movie... botanical inacuracies... You are not alone. I find it a bit inconguous to be watching a movie set in the tropics, or the eastern US, and hear Pacific tree frogs in the background. _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your e-mail with MSN 8.
