Authorities have captured and killed an 8-foot, 9-inch alligator that bit off an Orlando woman's arm while she was swimming. Florida wildlife officials say Rachael D. Lilienthal, 37, was swimming in Wekiva River on Saturday when the gator attacked her, biting her twice. A kayaker struck the alligator with a paddle, causing the animal to release Lilienthal. Two kayakers brought her to the marina where deputies gave her first aid. She was taken to an Orlando-area hospital. Her condition is not known.

This is why we all need to thank Al Gore for inventing the Internet. SC

That show is retarded. (Though I recall an actor who died last year obit posted his claim to fame being in one of the death scenes in that show). But not as retarded as searching for Bigfoot or ghost hunter shows with bad lighting and a guy that acts all scared 'DID U HEAR THAT' five times an hour long episode and that shit is I its umpteenth season. Who fucking watches that shit????? SC

Two very notable physicists of all things! 1. English physicist Henry 'Harry' Moseley, 100 years ago August 10. "Moseley's outstanding contribution to the science of physics was the justification from physical laws of the previous empirical and chemical concept of the atomic number. This stemmed from his development of Moseley's law in X-ray spectra. Moseley's Law justified many concepts in chemistry by sorting the chemical elements of the periodic table of the elements in a logical order based on their physics." 2. 70 years ago Robert Hutchings Goddard (October 5, 1882 August 10, 1945) was an American engineer, professor, physicist, and inventor who is credited with creating and building the world's first liquid-fueled rocket SirC

'Too lazy to find a suitable thread? Then post here.' Egad not even a guest. SC

Normally try to shy away from spelling lames, guilty of plenty myself. As they say, it's not big, it's not clever and it impresses absolutely nobody.But what? Covered in Branston Pickle and compromised perhaps? Hardly surprising, you definitely would be if anyone saw you. I assume it's "released on compassionate grounds" but hard to say for sure :S. fixed I got sucked into the Stewart hype and regret it. She definitely will not be on a non-theme team next year short of a recurrence headline. Bad pick by me and many others. SC

Can't argue w that last passage Rotten Ali! Well done SC

Oh fuxsayk leave it to a guest to open up this casket. SC

i just dont think the " hes been on so long we shouldnt take him off" argument is the right one, to me, unless something drastically changes regarding his health in the next few months, i would seriously consider losing him for 2016 There was a lot of gbashing of teeth when he wasn't included in 2014. I think we keep him.I agree with all the recent news he should not be left out at all thankfully the dl committee will keep knowing them unless they pull a jaruzelski All the recent news indicates that for 91 he's doing pretty good. He has access to health care and all the gold he can eat. I'm telling you, he isn't going to die any time soon. You're telling them what I said day 1. Worst pick of the 50. He doesn't even have a common cold, not sure where all this death's door belief is coming from. Chuck Berry another Godawful pick when you had Fats Domino on the list last year deservedly so, the fat bastard diabetic. Fats Donino should be on the list till he perishes. SC

Still a chance w this pick! After that I had Oct 13, and that was it. SC

He joins Howard Cosell and Dandy Don Merideth up in the booth. SC
