#6  No wonder the French adore them so much. They act like the idiots running the Palestinian Authority.

#5  Alligators usually drown anything they catch that is too big to eat in one gulp. They then take the carcass and trap it under water by stuffing it under a submerged log or rock outcropping to let it get tender before they eat it. They also eat carrion.

#4  They pretty much eat only dead things. Kill it and store in the deep muddy. Gross creatures, we had them on the ropes for a long while, now the bastards are back.

#3  BTW - do gators eat dead things?

As I understand it, yes. They'll drag their kill back to their burrow and snack on it as they get hungry.

#2  PARIS - Hurricane Katrina has had an unforeseen effect on the French fashion industry, which says it, fears it will be hit by a shortage of Louisiana alligator hides in coming months.

While there is no shortage of the saurians in the floodwaters of New Orleans, where rescuers say they fear the animals are feeding on the bodies of Katrina's victims, the hurricane may have seriously damaged alligator farming.


So the French have made a 'contribution', in a negative sort of way - they'll probably try to keep a stiff upper lip about the increase in the cost of imported alligator skin. Quell courage!

BTW - do gators eat dead things?
