I'm torn between horror and hilarity on this one - apparently a python tried to swallow an alligator, but it didn't really go very well.

YES! If I could bring back anything from the past, it would definitely be the duel. I mean, who didn't love the duel between Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr?

I'd imagine Hamilton wasn't too enthralled by it, considering that it killed him. [Wink]

But personally I think gladiatorial combat should make a comeback - especially the ones where they'd flood the amphitheatre and have sea-battle reenactments! [Big Grin]
