Tom was refering to an earlier post of his......................... David - you do realise that contrary to popular myth - and slipdigit's tale of his best friend - that the male aligator is in fact - Man's best friend ! The female aligator lays hundreds of eggs and the male aligator eats all of 95% of all aligator eggs laid by the female - if he failed to do this little chore - the whole world would be up to our waists in aligators all snapping at us - whereas the coyote does keep the rodent population in check - can't think of any good reason for snakes though.

![]() | Really tough morning for me. A military warehouse full with all kind of bombs just explode near Sofia, and my home. The explosions continued 3 hours non-stop, destroying windows and doors of homes nearby. One of the bombs fell down near the bulgarian airport, and a team of sappers were send there to defuse it. Its miracle that nobody died and there are few wounded, even the soldiers guarding the warehouse manage to evacuate. Half of the capital felt the explosions, and i was really near, i even manage to see the explosions from my apartment. The reasons for the explosions are still unknown, fireman crew can't enter near the warehouse because there are still minor explosions. Here is a photo taken by a news reporter: ![]() |

![]() | Thanks Adam, not before long a warehouse in Albania blown near there capital, and killed many civilians. What a coincidence eh? A good think that there isn't anybody killed and just few who are wounded by the broken windows. |

![]() | More Alabama critters.Near Livingston, Alabama ............. Look at what James Snipe hit with his car on county road 24 north-east of Livingston AL in Sumter County. The lion was still alive but unable to move, so our neighbor called animal control and they came and put him down. A land owner had seen this one a week before dragging off a 320 lb steer. Our neighbor is an amateur taxidermist and he's going to stuff him. This one weighed 260 lbs. while most maturemale mountain lions weigh 80 to 150 lbs. We had no idea they still roamed around here!
