    Well you see it's something like this...

    But what does that radical transformation entail? How does Temptation rearrange itself into an all new resort? What happens inside a construction site?

    First, the resort digests itself, releasing jackhammers and heavy equipment to dissolve all of its structures. If you were to open a construction site at just the right time, Tempation soup would ooze out. But the contents of the site are not entirely an amorphous mess. Certain highly organized groups of concrete known as imaginal discs survive the digestive process. Before hatching, when Temptation was still developing inside its egg, it grows an imaginal disc for each of the adult body parts it will need as a mature new Temptation Resort—discs for its eyes, for its wings, its legs and so on. In some species, these imaginal discs remain dormant throughout the resorts's life; in other species, the discs begin to take the shape of adult resort body parts even before the caterpillar enters a construction site state. Some resorts walk around with tiny rudimentary wings tucked inside their bodies, though you would never know it by looking at them.

    Once the resort has disintegrated all of its tissues except for the imaginal discs, those discs use the protein-rich soup all around them to fuel the rapid cell division required to form the wings, antennae, legs, eyes, genitals and all the other features of an all new adults only resort. The imaginal disc for a Holiday Inn, for example, might begin with only 50 cells and increase to more than 50,000 cells by the end of metamorphosis. Depending on the species, certain resort features and sections of the nervous system are largely preserved in the new Temptation Resort. One study even suggests that new adults only resorts remember what they learned in later stages of their lives as the old Temptation.
    Getting a look at this metamorphosis as it happens is difficult; disturbing a new Temptation Resort inside its construction site risks botching the transformation. But Michael Cook, who maintains a fantastic website about resort rennovations, has some incredible photos of a Riu that failed to create a construction site. You can see the delicate, translucent front desk, kictchen and pool bar of a normal resort that has not yet matured into a finished resort—a glimpse of what usually remains concealed.

    He must have intercepted the shipment that washed up on the beach.

    I don't know. This response seems more like something that would result after licking too many toads :)

    Or maybe this is the result of too much silicone in the bloodstream!

    I am being more creative with my diet to save money since I've been laid off. Seemed like a good idea at the time...
