View:Aligator with the Whales
Posted By Writspirit - Mon, Mar 29 2010 at 12:45 PM ESTThis goes along with something I read that Drunvalo Melchizedek said about the changing currents of water and how fresh water was starting to merge with salt water. It is salt water that drives the currents that keep the world balance. The salt runs lateral and then drops far down and then climbs back up, something like a churning wheel. With fresh water diluting this salt, it is disrupting the process by which this wheel works and the salt is not dropping as low any longer. In fact,.... More
E-religious rant
Posted By ktcale - Sat, Aug 07 2010 at 3:55 PM ESTWOW they see an alligator at sea and you turn it into a environmental rant...get another hobby....please
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Posted By Nermal - Fri, Mar 26 2010 at 8:16 PM ESTThe fact that people are saying that these guys are murderers is just too funny. They were in an inflatable boat, you fools. What could they have possibly done? Whip out their handy satellite phones and call the PETA hotline? Then, while waiting for PETA to track down their location, grab the gator's tail so it doesn't go anywhere? Man, it's a shame, but that gator is probably dead. Natural selection, folks. If they were in a big, sturdy boat...which they were not... then yes...your arguments.... More
yeah
Posted By oh - Fri, Mar 26 2010 at 2:16 PM ESTI've seen animals disrupt another animal as they fight for the food at hand. The lion shouldn't get between the other lion and its food. Might cause a world wide herpes plague. People Are Animals. I won't rescue someone from a murderer, nature takes it's course. Otherwise I might interfere with retards posting Let The Animal Die. F**k sticks. LOL
facts
Posted By NED - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 4:57 PM ESTIt is well known that Alligators are travelers and adventurers...why do you think they always end up swimming up and biting you in the culo? They are in sewers, sometimes in toilets....even Lake Placid, and most recently 20 miles out at sea.... Damn I even read one time that Christopher Columbus actually followed his alligator navigator to the Americas...then shot the mother ***** and took all the credit..... f****** alligators
heres a bit of reality..
Posted By wfhgfd - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 4:47 PM ESTHow many of you have been in an inflatable boat or a zodiac? Now how many of you have seen the show the crocodile hunter? Imagine trying to pull a 9 foot alligator into a inflatable boat... tail thrashing, claws scratching, no biting.. wait, i think they have teeth right?.. Well, lets say you manage to get it in the boat.. Chances are, i'd say at around 95%, you're now sitting in a leaking slowly sinking boat with an alligator, 20 miles out to sea.. I'm sorry animal lovers out there.. but.... More
It's not murder
Posted By U Rookies - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 4:10 PM ESTObviously none of you have worked with the parks system or other organizations that work to preserve natural environments, it's a long standing rule by folks who care and work hard at preserving nature that humans do not interfere.
I stand corrected
Posted By Clack - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 3:09 PM ESTUpon further reflection, I have to admit I was definately in the wrong on this one. Obviously rescuing an animal so far out of its element would, without a doubt, disrupt natural evolution in ways only vaguely imaginable. Nature and animals should be left as is and certainly not ****** with. I will take your philosophy to heart and should I ever encounter an animal or perhaps even a human being in a life threatening situation simply remind myself that I am witnessing nature and evolution in....

ummm
Posted By toby - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 1:06 PM ESTThey left it out there? They should all be shot where is PETA???? these men are nothing short of MURDERERS! Wait... what? they were Americans? ahh ok nm it's all good well done skipper, good show.
Gators look like Submerged Tires!
Posted By Mervin - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 12:44 PM ESTI once also confused a gator with a submerged tire and it cost me not only my hand, but also my promising badminton career. I could never get the hang of serving left handed. Have you ever tried to play badminton with a hook for a hand? I will never attempt to retrieve another submerged tire... it's just not worth it.
LOL
Posted By Lisa - Wed, Apr 07 2010 at 8:15 PM ESTAnd people took you seriously?! I think you're hilarious!
RE:
Posted By Skip - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 12:50 PM ESTI feel for you Mervin. You were just thinking "hey, free tire" and moments later you lose a hand. That's tough. I'm sure now when you see an alligator you think "hey, new boots".
Thank you for trying to keep our environment clean while feeding the animals.
Sorry, Merv...blame it on SUVs!
Posted By Al Gore - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 12:58 PM ESTMerv, the only thing better than a free tire is buying a couple dozen copies of my movie "An Inconvenient Truth".
You'll probably be interested in my next project, entitled "Hook-Handed Badminton Players: The Key to Curing AIDS".
100% of scientists who have dedicated their lives to finding a cure for AIDS from Hook-Handed Badminton Players agree that hook-handed badminton players HAVE to be the key to curing AIDS.

Posted By SW - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 12:41 PM ESTJust blame it on global warming, seems to work with everything else
UPTHUMB!
Posted By JR - Thu, Mar 25 2010 at 8:52 AM ESTI saw something from Digg that this winter was the coldest on record for Siberia! Must be global warming again! Also, all that snow we got in the Northeast US. Damn you, manbearpig!
I told you this would happen
Posted By Al Gore - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 12:00 PM ESTWhen I invented the internet, my first BBS posting explicitly mentioned the possibility of global warming leading to oceanic alligators.
The next sign of the global warming holocaust is universal health care in the US. Once that happens, get out of any major city, as they will all flood up to 2 bajillion feet deep, and the artic ice caps will instantly be turned into that goo from "You can't do that on television"
From there, it's all over. People will turn into pumpkins, Simon.... More

Posted By uranidiot - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 12:08 PM ESTRiiggggggggghhhhhhht... all the leading climate scientists are wrong and you and Glenn Beck are right... uhuuuhh... I got some perfect land for you to buy in the arctic really close to true north pole... I am sure you would buy it..
Glenn Beck????
Posted By legal61 - Sat, Aug 07 2010 at 4:02 PM ESTI don't see where he mentions Glenn Beck...watch out your'e liberal roots are showing...you must be under 35..a product of the NEW and improved school system...garbage in garbage out
Global Warming Cheats
Posted By Douglas Davis - Sun, Apr 04 2010 at 1:45 AM ESTYour top scientists have already been debunked with their manipulation of evidence just so Al Gore and his ilk (you?) can make a fortune on those carbon credits. You boys were caught with your pants down. :)
Thank you, uran!
Posted By Al Gore - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 1:03 PM ESTI've been looking for property to buy with all this money I got from "An Inconvenient Truth".
Honorable Gator
Posted By Nits - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 11:58 AM ESTI remember seeing this gator on the news, he said if the health care bill passed, he was moving out of the US. Leave him be, he's stuck to his word better than baldwin, Penn, or the rest of those liberals.
Rush LImbaugh?
Posted By DJ - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 2:27 PM ESTHow about Rush? thought he was moving to Costa Rica? maybe you could go along, take a bunch of Tea Baggers with you.. would make for a more perfect country I'd think
No more paying?!?!
Posted By Duh - Thu, Mar 25 2010 at 1:46 PM ESTI think you are right, I saw that on TV also... Yes, they would make the perfect country, without liberals like u DJ that thought, "Oh Osama my bama, is going to save me money and I will no longer have to pay taxes or mortgage payments...." sad sad liberals, look where he has gotten you now...
Oh, let's be honest...
Posted By HE - Tue, Mar 30 2010 at 12:54 AM ESTOne of the many reasons that Obama was such a popular vote, (aside from people avoiding anything remotely associated with Bush), was because most of us were voting against Palin. Anything and everything looked better than that prospect...
Really?...
Posted By blue dog - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 2:42 PM ESTIf all of the conservatives left the country, whose taxes would pay for your enhancement surgery?
God help us all
Posted By Skip - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 11:51 AM ESTWhat if the whales and alligator join forces and begin attacking humans together? The only thing I can think of more terrifying is if a clown with a machine gun was riding the alligator.
Wonderful Alligator Pics

Here you can find stunning alligator photos, videos - take a look! http://mashpedia.com/Alligator
It's nature, leave it be
Posted By Val - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 11:48 AM EST"think aquatic researces would take some steps to assure the gator didn't needlessly die"
WHAT? What happen to letting nature be, and take it's course. You might mess up the big evolutionary thing. Maybe he's out there "whaling," we did plenty of that in college. Maybe he's going to cross breed some massive whaligator.
Hmm no wait, you might be right, we shouldn't let him stay out there picking up chicks. Those things would demolish cities. You're right, we should stop evolution.
Gator
Posted By Stu - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 11:35 AM ESTThey did the right thing. Whether the gator was swept to sea or was curious and swam away, that is nature being nature. If he's trying to swim elsewhere, that is amazing. if he's just stupid...that's survival of the fittest.
Good Luck
Posted By Clack - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 11:27 AM ESTAs unlikely as it may be, I hope he makes it back. You'd think aquatic researces would take some steps to assure the gator didn't needlessly die. Such as maybe contacting someone with a proper boat to bring him back home...
whaat
Posted By mike - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 11:00 AM EST"Considering that we were in an inflatable boat 20 miles offshore, we didn’t want to risk having the gator inadvertently puncture the boat," said Foley.
20 miles offshore in an inflatable boat? That's not very smart....
Probably a RHIB
Posted By JR - Thu, Mar 25 2010 at 8:43 AM ESTThey were probably in a RHIB (Rigid Hull Inflatable Boat), not your standard inflatable raft. The RHIB would have survived the gator onboard, but the researchers probably weren't equipped, nor trained, to capture a live gator, in the water, and bring it aboard. I've watched enough Animal Planet to know not to F with them!
This is Amazing
Posted By Anonymous - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 11:04 AM ESTWow, I wonder if it was washed out there, or if it was just hte curious type? It's sad that he may still be out there, dead or alive.
Whales have pets too
Posted By Al Dunstan - Wed, Mar 24 2010 at 10:36 AM ESTHow do we know that whales don't have pets?
exactly what i was wondering
Posted By Anonymous - Thu, Mar 25 2010 at 10:45 AM ESTWe're so egotistical, thinking we're the only species capable of having pets.
