In the summer of 2004, he built a three-wheeled cart that rises about knee high. Atop the aluminum structure sits a modified computer trackball pointer, with a Ping-Pong ball in place of the usual trackball, which is heavier. (NY Times, June 7, 2005) [2] Giant African snails are to be deployed to sniff out air pollution at a waterworks plant in St Petersburg. Six gastropods, which can grow as big as a rat, will be exposed to emissions from a sewage incinerator while workers will monitor their health. Environmentalists have panned the move as a publicity stunt. (Independent, 4 February 2011) [3] Told in odd, dreamlike prose, the narrative drifts through shabby mansions and overgrown gardens, where ferns grow as big as trees and over-scented flowers bloom (like truth) just out of reach, and where, inevitably, a few weeks of bliss tumble into tragedy and madness. (Guardian, 24 September 2007) [4] Eighteen other whales died between Thursday and Friday after the 27 were found on two tiny, uninhabited islands one and a half miles from Key West. False killer whales resemble killer whales, or orcas, but are more slender and reach about 18 feet in length. Killer whales grow as long as 30 feet. (NY Times, June 9, 1986) [5] In the last 15 years, "cage diving" has gone commercial. Thousands of tourists a year are now squeezing into wet suits and plunging into shark-infested waters off Australia and South Africa for an intimate look at the predators, which grow as long as 25 feet, can weigh more than a ton, and live between 30 and 50 years. (NY Times, June 17, 2007) [6] The bufo marinus toads, which can grow as long as 12 inches, are native to South America but were introduced in South Florida in the 1930's in an attempt to control pests in the region's vast sugar-cane fields.
