"King Kong," whose amazing
career was climaxed melodramat
ically by a plunge from the high
est skyscraper in New York, was
born some seven million years
ago on Skull Island, located in
definitely off the Malay Penin
sula.
"Kong" was a rather large

giant flying reptile, that might
have ended his life. But he was
lucky and clever, and not only
vanquished the winged monster
but gathered its eggs for his
breakfast.
