” One of the most famous lizard attacks occurred half a world away in 2001, when a Komodo dragon kept by the Los Angeles Zoo tried to ingest the foot of Phil Bronstein, then editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and husband of actress Sharon Stone.”

To paraphrase Sharon - I guess that is just Karma, for being a San Francisco cafe-radical-leftist. Real life tries to take your foot off!

“Prior to the incident, Bronstein was wearing white tennis shoes. But because the dragon is fed white rats, the zoo keeper suggested he remove the shoes so the animal did not mistake them for its next meal.”

Looks like Phil knew better than the zoo keeper. :)

I rem that, he was wear white socks/shoes while the zoo was inactive (feeding time?); the dragon, thought early "Dinnertime....*chomp* *chomp* *chomp*...Hmmm...Liberal."
