Hey Rob

No way I'm wrong about the Oompa-Loompas living secretly at Ries
Crater! They absolutely do according to the original movie :"Charlie
and the Chocolate Factory".

My apologies for stealing ideas from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
and forgetting how to spell Oompa-Loompa! Oopsa Loopsa ...

I should have tread more carefully over your favorite !

To prove the point, let me generally pick up your citation where you
stopped, of the sacred text:

"I myself use billions of cacao beans every week in this factory. So I
talked to the leader of the tribe in Oompa-Loompish and told him how
his people could have all the cacao beans they wanted if they would
only come with me and live in my factory. Well the leader was so happy
he leaped up in the air and threw his bowl of mashed green caterpillars
right out his bong-bong tree window. So, here they are!"

Rob, the next question is - where is "here"? It certainly sounds like
England or Wales, but ... when Charlie finally gets to look over the
factory in the great glass Wonkavator elevator that goes up, down
sideways and anywhere else you want, the movie shows him leaving the
factory hovering over the beautful village.

What village?

N?rdlingen, the very same location of Ries Crater, of course!

Not only that, the Oompa-Loompas are diogenite crazed - they have green
hair and were grown on a diet of green caterpillars in their original
homeland where they developed the slingshot technology for green sample
return missions and the great glass elevator itself, both of which were
originally defenses against the snozzwangers you mentioned!

This defense rests ;-)

Best wishes
Doug

PS the reason I didn't mark this OT, is because next time you get to
visit Ries Crater you can see how the beauty of the town of N?rdlingen
(Bavaria, Germany) had it selected as the town of the chocolate factory
and thus launch pad for the next adventure when the elevator was used
as a space ship and docked on the space station (the book was written
long before the ISS) where some terrible astronaut-eating aliens were
that would eat everyone on Earth, except they can't come down to the
planet without spontaneously turning into meteorites (or that's how I
remember it - maybe it was just "shooting stars") ...

Dude?
?
It's Oompa-Loompa and they live in Loompaland, not Vesta?
?
?Then you?ll know all about it,? said Mr Wonka. ?And oh, what a
terrible country it is! Nothing but thick jungles infested by the most
dangerous beasts in the world ? hornswogglers and snozzwangers and
those terrible wicked whangdoodles. A whangdoodle would eat ten
Oompa-Loompas for breakfast and come galloping back for a second
helping. When I went out there, I found the little Oompa-Loompas living
in tree houses. They had to live in tree houses to escape from the
whangdoodles and the hornswogglers and the snozzwangers. And they were
living on green caterpillars, and the caterpillars tasted revolting,
and the Oompa-Loompas spent every moment of their days climbing through
the treetops looking for other things to mash up with the caterpillars
to make them taste better ? red beetles, for instance, and eucalyptus
leaves, and the bark of the bong-bong tree, all of them beastly, but
not quite so beastly as the caterpillars. Poor little Oompa-Loompas!
The one food that they longed for more than any other was the cacao
bean. But they couldn?t get it. An Oompa-Loompa was lucky if he found
three or four cacao beans a year. But oh, how they craved them. They
used to dream about cacao beans all night and talk about them all day.
You had only to mention the word ?cacao? to an Oompa-Loompa and he
would start dribbling at the mouth. .'?
