Jungle

Welcome to Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games.

INSTALLING TIMON AND PUMBAA'S JUNGLE GAMES

There are three ways to install Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games: a
CD Installation, a limited hard disk installation, and a full hard
disk installation.

If you install the program using the CD installation, you will always
run the program from the CD (you must have the Jungle Games CD in the
CD-ROM drive to run the program). This installation requires approximately
400 K of free hard disk space.

If you install using the limited hard disk installation, the game scenes
will be copied to your hard disk so that you will have faster access to
those scenes only. You will still need to have the CD in the CD-ROM drive
to run the full title. This installation requires approximately 41 MB of
free hard disk space.

If you install using the full hard disk installation, the entire program
will be copied to your hard disk so that you will not need to have the CD
in the CD-ROM drive to run the program. This installation requires
approximately 60 MB of free hard disk space.

As for

the real rovers traversing Mars some 300 million miles from
Earth, Spirit and Opportunity have made extraordinary discoveries and
found important clues to a watery past on the martian surface. The
Spirit rover is driving toward the "Columbia Hills," and Opportunity
has been making close examinations of a martian rock known as
"Bounce" before moving toward Endurance Crater.

For information about the latest developments on Mars and Disney's
"Mission: SPACE" attraction on the Internet, visit:

NASA

provided Disney's Imagineering team with tours, briefings and
discussions about human and robotic missions, as well as the
challenges future missions, like a trip to Mars, might present. The
attraction took five years and some 350,000 work-hours to build.
During a special ceremony, an actual Mars rover made a ceremonial pass
through wet cement. Administrator O'Keefe's quote will be affixed
near the rover's tracks in the attraction's planetary courtyard. The
latest developments and discoveries on Mars also were shared during
the event.

Thursday, January 12, 2006

It is Disney's most
technologically advanced attraction, relying on visual imaging,
motion control and centrifuge technology to send would-be astronauts
on a futuristic voyage.

"Mission: SPACE appeals to the explorer in all of us," said Al Weiss,
president of Walt Disney World Resort, Lake Buena Vista, Fla. "NASA's
triumphant Mars missions embody that spirit of exploration. We are
pleased and honored to have Administrator O'Keefe's comments taking
their place at Mission: SPACE alongside those of others who dared to
dream," he said.

contact

So I avoided eye contact, straightened my tie, and assumed the position
that would eventually get me on the Cathay Pacific's flight to Hong Kong.

In Hong Kong I'd seen huge matte black butterflies flapping around the
customs hall, nobody paying them the least attention. I'd caught a glimpse
of the Walled City of Kowloon, too. Maybe I could catch another, before
the future comes to tear it down.

Traditionally the home of pork-butchers, unlicensed denturists, and
dealers in heroin, the Walled City still stands at the foot of a runway,
awaiting demolition. Some kind of profound embarassment to modern China,
its clearance has long been made a condition of the looming change of
hands.

Hive of dream. Those mismatched, uncalculated windows. How they seemed to
absorb all the frantic activity of Kai Tak airport, sucking in energy like
a black hole.

I was ready for something like that. . . .

I loosened my tie, clearing Singapore airspace.

Sunday, January 08, 2006

Made it

to the lobby and checked out in record time. I'd booked a cab for
4 AM, even though that gave me two hours at Changi. The driver was asleep,
but he woke up fast, insanely voluble, the only person in Singapore who
didn't speak much English.

He ran every red light between there and Changi, giggling. "Too early
policeman...."

They were there at Changi, though, toting those big-ticket Austrian
machine pistols that look like khaki plastic waterguns. And I must've been
starting to lose it, because I saw a crumpled piece of paper on the
spotless floor and started snapping pictures of it. They really didn't
like that. They gave me a stern look when they came over to pick it up and
carry it away.

And,

very next day, they announced Johannes Van Damme's death sentence. He
still has at least one line of appeal, and he is still, the paper notes,
"the first Caucasian" to find his ass in this particular sling.
"My ass," I said to the mirror, "is out of here." Put on a white shirt
laundered so perfectly the cuffs could slit your wrists. Brushed my teeth,
ran a last-minute check on the luggage, forgot to take the minibar's
tinned Australian Singapore Sling home for my wife.

Wednesday, January 04, 2006

The defense

told a different story, though it generally made about as much
sense as Mat Repin's. Van Damme had gone to Bangkok to buy a wedding ring
for his daughter, and had met a Nigerian who'd asked him, please, to take
a suitcase through to Athens. "One would conclude," the lawyer for the
defense had said, "that either he was a nave person or one who can easily
be made use of." Or, hell, both. I took this to be something akin to a
plea for mercy.Johannes Van Damme, in the newspaper picture, looks as thick as two bricks.

I can't tell you whether he's guilty or not, and I wouldn't want to have
to, but I can definitely tell you that I have my doubts about whether
Singapore should hang him, by the neck, until dead - even if he actually
was involved in a scheme to shift several kilos of heroin from some
backroom in Bangkok to the junkies of the Plaka. It hasn't, after all, a
whole hell of a lot to do with Singapore. But remember "Zero Tolerance?"
These guys have it.

The Straits Times 4/24/93

In his defense, he said that he did not know that the cannabis was hidden
there.
The day they sentenced Mat Repin, the Dutchman was also up on trial.
Johannes Van Damme, an engineer, had been discovered in custody of a
false-bottomed suitcase containing way mucho barang: 4.32 kilograms of
heroin, checked through from Bangkok to Athens.The prosecution made its case that Van Damme was a mule; that he'd agreed
to transport the suitcase to Athens for a payment of US$20,000. Sniffed
out by Changi smackhounds, the suitcase was pulled from the belt, and Van
Damme from the transit lounge, where he may well have been watching
Beaver's dad explain the Feast of the Hungry Ghosts on a wall-mounted Sony.

The hearing had

two interpreters. One interpreted English to Malay while the other interpreted Malay to Kelantanese to Mat Repin, who is from Kelantan. The prosecution's case was that when Mat Repin arrived at the checkpoint and was asked whether he had any cigarettes to declare, his reply was no. As he appeared nervous, the senior customs officer decided to check the scooter. Questioned further if he was carrying any "barang" (thing), Mat Repin replied that he had a kilogram of "ganja" (cannabis) under the petrol tank.
