Laughter, it's good for the soul!
People's unwillingness to learn can really make my blood boil...but once ya get past that, these quotes from internet monitor discussions are funnier that Saturday Night Live 
"My baby savannah monitor eats 2-3 crickets every 3-4 days"
"My uncle has a savannah monitor he kept in a 10 gallon tank when it was a baby,55 gallon when a juvinile,and an 6X4X3 Enclosure for what he has now,an adult.His savannah monitor looks healthy so yea..What are you people talking about? "
"if your making a basking spot of 130(which i personally wouldnt recommend neither would my pet store owner or vet)"
"do you know that is a sav is in 108.5 degrees for 4.5 hours IT WILL DIE"
"i'm not an expert but i have talked to enough to understand savs myself and 130 degrees aint good"
"i feed my monitors snails, grasshoppers, crickets, earthworms, hard boiled eggs, fish, crayfish, my own special recipe of monitor meatloaf, and catepillars. A variety will encourage better growth rates. And rodents should never be fed to african monitors."
"I've worked with my veterinarian Doctor Randon Feinsod, (also a reknown herptologist), and he stated that "african monitors natural diets do not have rodents in them, this is because rodents are nocturnal, and monitors are dinural, therefore they would rarely meet in the wild)"
"A true diet for an african monitor should be mainly invertabrates (including crusteaceans) with fish and eggs as supplements."
" wouldnt recommend using rodents as a feeder for hatchlings, its completely artificial and unnatural to do, keep your sav on an insect based diet, insects are going to be the lions share of his diet, plus pinkies are nothing but fat, it's like feeding your savannah Mcdonalds"
Now, for the best laugh of all....take a look at these two clowns...
