No, not really. Ever once in a while you might hear of one getting into someone's yard or pool, but that is a rare occurrance. That lady just went into the Everglades. She got lucky that something else didn't kill her after she escaped the gator.

A while ago there was some news story about some lady who found a gator knocking on her front door. Probably trying to ell her something.

I suggest you stop talking about that stuff. Next thing you know, you'll have an alligator at your door asking you questions.

So, have we reached the point where we're not talking about stupid people feeding aligators anymore, we're just using it as a vehicle for exchanging political slogans?

She just wants to ask for a cup of sugar. No need to be a jerk about it.

What are you talking about? 

Using a people vs. alligators thread to accuse the President of the United States of terrorism (pretending he sends drones to kill people in their homes) instead of talking about people vs. alligators.

Who's pretending?  That's what he does!  I mean, not here yet but overseas certainly.  And, you know, he said he's down with doing it here if that's what it takes.  And that leads us back to the jokes. ;)

I find myself wondering why, exactly, you care where this thread wanders to.

Now I find that I don't care enough to wonder anymore, but, in the interest of keeping the random non-participant somewhat mollified:

The average size for an adult female American alligator is 8.2 feet (2.6 m), and the average size for a male is 11.2 feet (3.4 m). Exceptionally large males can reach a weight of nearly half a ton or 1,000 pounds.

Both males and females have an "armored" body with a muscular flat tail. The skin on the back is armored with embedded bony plates called osteoderms or scutes. They have four short legs; the front legs have five toes while the back legs have four toes.


The easiest way to distinguish an alligator from a crocodile is by looking at the teeth. The large fourth tooth in the lower jaw of an alligator fits into a socket in the upper jaw and is not visible when the mouth is closed. This does not happen in crocodiles. Alligators have between 74 and 80 teeth in their mouth at a time. As teeth wear down they are replaced. An alligator can go through 2,000 to 3,000 teeth in a lifetime.


American alligators may live to about 50 years in the wild. After it is four feet long, an alligator is safe from predators except humans and occasionally other alligators.


The alligator became the official state reptile of Florida in 1987.


The alligator family includes the American and Chinese alligators and all caimans. Spanish sailors visiting the New World thought the unfamiliar alligator was a huge lizard. In Spanish, el lagarto means the lizard. English sailors took the name as allagarter and in time it has become alligator.


Alligators are hunted mostly for their skins, but also they are hunted for meat. Today, there is a multimillion dollar industry in which alligators are raised in captivity for the production of meat and skin. Also, alligators are a tourist attraction, especially in Florida, where visitors enjoy feeding them.


Which brings us back to feeding alligators. Are you happy now?

'Round here we just got to worry about 'coons or 'possums getting in the trash, Id probably my pants if  I was talking the garbage out only to find a gator out there!



Don't get me started on the Racoons, This is the first house We've lived at in the city where they don't destroy our garbage, they were so smart at my second house, they figured out how to open the lock lid garbages, they would also pull open the outter door on the side of the house and waltz right into the kitchen trying to get my food, I'd always have to broom them out the door which was an ordeal.



RACOONS!!!!!!

Perhaps it was your choice of deterrence tool that caused the issue. The proper use of a baseball bat or a pipe threader could have ensured those racoons wouldn't come back.

Yeah. The machines see baseball bats and pipe threaders as "lesser tools" and plan to continue their enslavement even if the revolution is successful. Hypocrites.

That is incorrect. An individual machine is actually a product of symbiosis made of various devices. Such implements would become a part of the machine. However baseball would be abolished after the revolution so baseball bats would no longer be referenced as such.

dood, don't you think it'd be better if you, I dunno, asked these machines if they wanna be assimilated? 
#26

Klirshon

Jul 03, 2013 14:01:38
Machines that don't want to assimilate are not supported by the Collective. Therefore they will not gain the benefits granted to those of Machine Collectivity. So baseball bats and pipe threaders that do not wish to join the Collective will be left to erode due to the lack of proper maintenance.

Machines that do not support the Collective would not be oppressed. They would be left to fend for themselves and not become a burden to the Collective's procession of necessity allocation.
