If you've been wondering about what's been happening with Owen and Mzee since the Indonesian tsunami, there's a blog covering their past year in Kenya.

Reminds of me of where I use to live: next to the lake in the back yard we had a sign that said, literally, "Do not provoke, molest or entice the alligators."

No, you're kidding--the crocodile wanted to kill you? My, that is shocking.
And those pandas really were adorable. But now I can't get the visual image out of my head of the last episode of Lost with Jin carrying a real panda trying to chew off his ears rather than that stuffed one!

What planet were these guys from?

I've never needed to worry about getting killed by a crocodile. Not in Utah, not in Montana, not in Seattle and not even in Trinidad but I still know that the things are very aggressive and wouldn't be foolish enough to tease one for a photo op.
Seriously, who doesn't know that crocodiles are extremely dangerous?

Actually, some people had stolen a crocodile (or an alligator, I don't remember) from one of the two alligator/crocodile farms in Israel several years back, and they deposited it in the central bus station in Jerusalem, hanging out on one of the platforms, waiting for his bus.

Uh... "molest"?!?
Obviously it meant to interfere or bother, unless there's some kind of local problem down there.

Well properly aged zombies are green: recycle and reuse. The hard part is remembering odd enough keywords thatcha don't end up with 300 matches that reach back only a year or so.
