Talk:Boin Archipelago

CITATION
In Walter Moers' book "The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear" (1999) there's an island that in the italian edition is called "Sbafatrix Insularis" and in the english one "Gourmet Island". I paste the description of the island from wikipedia: "a fantastic land filled with delicious foodstuffs that mysteriously grow in place of normal vegetation. The bear, after sampling them all, develops a monstrous appetite and craving for nutrition. He eats the addictive foods so much that he fattens up tremendously. Bluebear's last meal (a man-sized mushroom) is interrupted by the discovery that the island is a giant carnivorous plant that ensnares passers-by, fattens them up and eats them at 300 pounds"

honestly, if you read the book, you cannot deny Oda's citationist intent :)
