I find this claim to be....dubious. 😀

"No, no, no! It is not I, the Great FABRE! who is the monster! It is those bloody savages in those villages that eat the beetles!"


...mostly unrelated, but anyone know the story of how the current Royal/Crown-whatever family of Monoco came to the throne? (the one that Grace Kelly married into).

They dressed as monks, sneaked into the palace and under the cover of night, murdered the sitting royal family. Viola!
