Water Hazard

I just found reason number 852 for me not to go golfing.

Some guy in Florida was out golfing and his ball went into a pond. He went to retrieve the ball, and a nearly 11 foot long alligator grabbed his arm and pulled him into the pond!!

A question that popped into my mind at this part of the story was, is this sort of like the alligator version of fishing? Anyhoo...

The guy used his other arm to beat the gator and free himself, and it took...whomever it is what catches the gators, an hour or so to catch the thing.

What's the best part of this story? No, it's not the 'Beware of Alligator' sign posted near the pond. It's the fact that the alligator only had one eye! So this guy, who just set out one day to go golfing, now has the best golfing story ever!

"So I reached in to get my ball, and this huge one-eyed alligator jumped out and dragged me in!"

Okay, so maybe it's just me that finds this so amusing. By the way, the guy was not seriously injured...I'm not THAT mean!

Just Watch It

This video completely fascinates me. I've watched it at least ten times, and for me (with the memory of a goldfish and the attention span of a hyper two-year-old on a rainy day) that's a lot.

It's called Women in Art, and explores 500 years of female portraits in Western art. (Stop yawning, it really is interesting!)
