This is highly speculative, I should point out. And that's the islanders point. Scientist come here looking for trouble, when in reality, there's next to no impact on the daily lives of regular Guamanians. The birds took the hit and, as the article says, that was 25 years ago.

The islanders only know what their serpentine overlords tell them they should know, which is my point.

Me too! That's why I asked and in return, I got an earful. Erm, and earful of information. Not snakes ;0)
