I thought this might be about Jaron's butt.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I read about that in National Geographic a few months ago.  I love the jungle in the cave.  Very Journey to the Center of the Earth-ish.

But.... 'world's largest cave'?  I guess it depends how you define 'cave' but Mammoth Cave here in Kentucky is many orders of magnitude larger than that cave. :sleep:

I don't really understand the idea that this is a recently discovered cave with a collapsed roof and a jungle growing in it (which of course means it must be open to sunlight, and hence not really a cave anymore at all?).

Pretty damn amazing.

I guess the parts where the ceiling collapsed and allowed the hungle to grow down inside were never discovered because it was, well, deep in the jungle?

Not even Charlie found it?
