Just heard it on ABC's Evening News...

How many slides does it have, can I tow it behind my ford focus, and did you know they camp at wallmart. I hear they only use RV toilet paper, Michelin tires, never drive over 62.5MPH, and get 24 MPG. :)

I think I have cover all the hot topics on here :) Back to the regularly scheduled programing.

No, no, no, people your reading that all wrong.

They said Gators can grow to the length of an average RV.

What they got wrong was gators growing to nineteen feet. So be on the lookout for something more in the 30' range.

Gatorzillia.

Several years ago, a bunch of guys, went spec trout fishing in the panhandle of Fla. We stayed at an old camp right on the waterway west of Panama City I think.
Every night there was banging and sound like someone knocking on the door. In the morning there were fresh tracks and tail drag marks all through the camp. When we arrived a couple guys talked about sleeping outside on the ground. I don't think the crabs would have let them settle in long enough for the gators to get them but who knows.
Saw a few of them sunning, away from the camp. I'm sure a couple of them were 14 ft or longer. Looked big enough to take on a Volkswagen even a small pickup.

from the article: "Hughes says the gator got close to the barbed wire at the top of the fence and then backed down to the ground.

You can't blame a gator for trying, though, right?

Close only counts in horse shoes.

Yah, you don't have to worry about them out there, they'd all fall into the quake faults. :B

I think the largest gators go about 14', only the size of a Casita.

... so it's gotta be correct, right? In an article about the over-size alligators that have been cropping up in the South, they mentioned that gators could grow to "...nineteen feet, the length of the average RV." Huh? Say what? Sure took me by surprise, I tell you what. I always thought my Tiger was pretty small at 19'. Your thoughts?

Jim, "Deja Fu... the feeling that somewhere, somehow, you've been kicked in the head like this before."

Just another example of well researched, and all the facts correct.

Sarcasm key off.
