Lizard Trouble is Today's Running Theme

Comment on yesterday's debate, or post a weird news article? Debate? Or news article?

You all watched the debate for yourselves. Here's something else:


Crocodile survives tower plunge

MOSCOW, Russia (Reuters) -- A crocodile survived a fall from the 12th floor of a Russian apartment block after making an escape bid through a window, emergency services said on Wednesday.

The crocodile lost one tooth in the fall but was otherwise unscathed, said a spokeswoman for the emergencies ministry in the Nizhny Novgorod region of central Russia.

"It seems the owner was not at home when the crocodile came out of the window," she said.

Diving out of the window has become a habit for the crocodile, called Khenar, with concerned neighbors saying it was the third time he had used that method to flee, Moskovsky Komsomolets daily reported.

Emergency services put the crocodile in a local aquarium to recover from his fall. Within a few hours his concerned owner came to pick him up and the crocodile was last seen lying on the back seat of his owner's car.

I had a dream that the cats escaped out the back (downstairs) door. They were hiding out by the birdbath. When I came after them, they all jumped in the pool and tried to swim to escape from me. Wimmie was doing okay but Fergie couldn't swim and Min just sank because she was too fat. So I jumped in and saved Min and Ferg, and snatched up Wimmie. She was all wet and spiky and mad.

Haha but fat floats! Soggy angry Wim sounds hilarious.

Give me a call and I'll tell you all about our lizard woes. *sigh*
