Latest dumb email re: Katrina

I've already received this 3 times today at work. The sad part is that everyone thinks it's real.

"This crocodile was found in New Orleans swimming down the street. 21 FT long, 4,500 lbs, around 80 years old minimum.
Specialists said that he was looking to eat humans because he was too
old to catch animals. This crocodile was killed by the army last Sunday at 3:00 pm, currently he is in the freezer at the Azur hotel. The contents of it's
stomach will be analyzed this Friday."

Actually, they can! Scary, eh?

Can they or do they? I've never seen one that big before. Maybe your last NSX wasn't stolen? Maybe a gator ate it? Maybe it was that one! :tongue:

Hmm, maybe L.A. county should hire either of these guys. Anyone know if they caught that L.A. croc?

One thing I never knew about alligators was how fast they can run on land. I was in Loxahatchee, Florida and saw one chasing another animal on shore. It was amazing how fast they run.

BTW, for more detail on the original version, read about it in Snopes:

that might be fake, but I really did shoot a alligator in my sister in law's front yard the day after the storm. About 10ft long, I dont know how much he weighed, I didnt try to pick him up. Took 15 shots to the head to kill him

Are you going to run a sale on custom alligator skin seat covers?

I don't think those original pictures are from the US. We don't require those speed postings on the rear of the trucks.

EDIT: Nevermind, snopes is on the job.

lol :biggrin: no but, I actually considered cutting it up for the meat. But it was too hard to get to down the street through the debri at the time. so I had no way of getting it home.

I remember seeing a Croc special on one of those nature channels where one croc ate a small alligator. Small was about 6 ft.

I love snopes.

I finally quit getting emails like that from coworkers after using snopes to shoot them down each time. Now they know if they send me something like that, I'll take all the fun out of it.

So that's where my pet croc got too? He's always getting out of the backyard.
