Bob, Just be watchful in the loo. They live in the sewers, y'know. Alligator and crocodile wrestling is curiously on-topic, since Pentax has hired that lunatic Australian crocodile-wrestler as a spokesperson for its ads. What was his name again? Every day I see things on TV I never, ever want to do. One of them is definitely wrangling reptiles. (Another is mountain climbing. I have a strange fascination with watching it and reading about it, but the whole time I'm quietly thinking to myself, "I'm sure glad that's not me.") --Mike, living vicariously and perfectly content to do so
