Alligators in the Brooklyn!

Not in Canada it doesn't

they assumed I was named after Quark on DS9 and not strange quark the particle.

I actually had never heard of "strange quark the particle" until I came to this board.

So you'd been living under a rock - no big deal.

It happens all the time.

I think I'll stay out of NYC then if it happens all the time with alligators. Safety, you know? Next thing, you'll be telling me they show up in bath tubs.

It happens everywhere. In Florida there are all sorts of non-native critters living out in the Everglades, and the list doesn't come close to stopping there. As for alligators, they've cropped up in the Los Angeles area, too - not even close to native habitat.

When i worked at the greenhouse, we'd get shipments in from tropical areas. The stuff that came in those crates would surprise you. I never personally opened one with a gator or snake, but co-workers did. I did come across some mean motherfucker insects in them though.

Anyway, in an odd and slightly creepy development, I just got this message on facebook:

Hey, sorry to track you down in a weird way, but a message on Twitter made me look up "bushwick alligator" and then steps led me to your name. Can you share some information about what you saw for BushwickBK.com? We'll check with the police to see what happened with the alligator, but we'd like a quote from you. Thanks!

I don't Twitter. How'd he find me? Whatever, it's all fun!

EEK! I guess it could be explained away... still kinda creepy!

OOO, Sewer gators!!
