thedesertsun.com | Memoir of Brando pulls no punches
Now, here's some advanced thinking on energy conservation, from the late Marlon Brando. He coulda been a contenda with this idea, instead of just a bum.
"He was an autodidact. He taught himself, but he had a real intellectual capacity and a razor mind. The behavior of Australian termites could fascinate him. He built a tank in his house that had eels in it. He wanted to power the house from the power of electrical eels down in Tetiaroa (Brando’s island in Tahiti). He wanted to get a television camera up among the frigate birds that would fly around the atoll so he could photograph the other birds as they were floating around. He actually did that."
