took you long enough
Saw this on Google News this morning, can't believe it took you this long to post it :-)
Are you kidding me?
Why are we living in fear-ville?
Perhaps this teen saw someone on the beach wearing a Lacoste alligator shirt? Or maybe a U-Florida student enjoying the water?
gator in Jamaica Pond
There actually was an alligator in Jamaica Pond a few years back. Police first assumed it was a crank call, or somebody saw a log floating in the pond and got freaked out. But they figured they had to at least check it out. Sure enough, they found a 2 foot alligator swimming in the pond. They figure some idiot brought it up here as a pet, then dumped it when it got too big.
At 2 feet, I'm not sure how much of a danger it was to anyone. But it never would have survived the winter up here.
Great headline...
... but your age is showing. :-)
O RLY?
The classics are never out of style :-).
