Today's "odd spot" in the Melbourne age

Friday September 30, 2005

Cobras, water monitor lizards and rats plague the construction site of Bangkok's new airport, but pose no problem because many of the 30,000 building workers catch and eat at least the reptiles, say airport bosses.

I wonder if they would have less of a problem with the rats if they leftt the reptiles to deal with them....
