Well, it gives his kids a good story for show and tell.
Pursuing "forbidden fruit" has its risks.
"Poison"? More like a bio weapon. Komodo's mouths are the most bacterially dangerous mouths on the planet.
I’ve always suspected their cuddly looks were just a deception.
Here's a bit of nostalgia from 0bama's book regarding his mother's second husband:

"With Lolo (Soetoro), I learned how to eat small green chili peppers raw with dinner (plenty of rice), and away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)," Obama wrote. "LIke many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share."
Pity it wasn't Komodo Dragon. Or perhaps it was.
Don’t pull on Superman’s cape, don’t spit into the wind, and don’t gather sugar-apples on a Komodo dragon controlled island.
Bush’s fault.
Don’t laugh too hard, we have some of these critters running around loose in Florida!
