This was taken in 2003. It's probably extinct by now.
If my bookie wasn't in jail, I'd bet that this is a tree-dwelling marsupial, perhaps a distant cousin of the possum. Possums are cute everywhere except where I live .
Borneo claims to have the world's largest cockroach.
So does Australia. They already have the world's largest earthworms. Lucky Australia.
Borneo , in my opinion, is full of shit. I've seen cockroaches in Baltimore that were large enough to get parking tickets. Even old Ellicott City has roaches the size of bear cubs, at least it did when I lived there. They burned the place after I moved out and I am uncertain as to what became of the roaches.
Speaking of Baltimore and cockroaches, I wish someone would discover a 500-ft. cockroach that eats concrete and shits heroin. It would be drawn to the Mt. Royal Tavern, which would magically expand ala Baba Yaga's Hut in order to accomodate the giant bug.
Nobody there would blink. They'd just nod.

I think Australia has just about the worst of everything - most poisonous, largest, deadliest, what-have-you. Every person I have met from Australia has some freaky spider story, and we're not talking about daddy long legs. I really want to go there someday - hope I make it out alive!
