Wow, no sleep. Let's see just how strong this Bosnian coffee is.
Yesterday I was told one of the most disturbing, but funny stories I have ever heard. Sitting in the common room of the hostel, chatting away with a few people as you do. The subject was movies, and I brought up how much Ashley Morton loves Jurassic Park. And rightly so, it is awesome. Everyone was in agreement to the awesomeness of the movie, except for one Canadian girl called Beth. She said she 'hated' Jurassic Park. Now, hate is a strong word, one that is used way too readily by most people, and I would normally have dismissed this as another way of her saying she did not enjoy the movie. However, its Jurassic bleedin' Park, how can you not love this movie? So I inquired further. This proved to be a mistake.
Turns out young Beth, a political scientist from Vancouver, was once deciding with her siblings what movie they would watch that evening. The choice of videos lay in their parents collection, so as they were rifling through them, they noticed one marked 'Jurassic Park'. They did the same math everyone else did back in the day. Spielberg + Dinosaurs + Jeff Goldblum + Newman = Awesome. So it was decided, Jurassic Park would be watched. They sat down, pushed the movie in, and pressed play.
However, a problem soon became apparent. In the beginnings of this movie, there was no team member being savaged by a Velociraptor, and there was certainly no Dr Grant working in the deserts. What there was however, was fairly explicit sexual content, two people who are obviously quite fond of each other practicing the art of fornication.
These two people were Beth's parents.
Well, I certainly could not continue any conversation after that, as it was nigh on impossible to stop laughing. Poor Beth, but still, pretty darn funny.
After the hilarity, today I am heading to Srebreniča, which I advise you looking up. It is not pleasant. To put it in a nutshell, it is the location of Europes 21st century genocide.
