I saw an e-mail from the the friend of a co-worker, claiming that a giant alligator had been killed in the floodwaters by New Orleans law enforcement. And there were pictures!

Turns out the pics were real, but they were from Africa a few years back.

To adapt a rather famous (or infamous) song, and this one's for you Quik:

"Chubby Checker, psycho, gators in the Congo!"

Reminds me of the crocs in The Eraser or some other Arnold movie. I think it was The Eraser.

Yeah, only this dead one has more life than that crappy CGI thing in the movie.

I thought alligators were only native to the Americas. I thought Africa only had Crocs. Apparently I'm wrong.
