Better experiment. If you drop three dead Democrats in the desert, do they still vote?

“Elk in Kentucky?”

They’ve sighted Elk in Tennessee.

“Yes, what happened? I hate clicking the link to read...I’m too lazy.”

Well, the depth and pressure somehow re-instilled life into the gators and they became zombie-like. Netflix has already snatched rights to the title “The Swimming Dead”, a new TWD spinoff series.

I think there are some in the mountains of NC. Iirc, some governmental or conservation group are trying to re-establish them there.

How much did THAT cost the taxpayer?

I can't imagine it was too much, it's not like dead alligators are hard to source in Louisiana or a boat that'll get you out in the Gulf of Mexico.

I'd rather some tax money be spent on something like this that'll let us learn about the world around us than giving it to some welfare rats so they can buy steak and Mad Dog 20/20.

If you dropped a liberal into the ocean with an anchor around his neck would anything eat him/her or would him/ her just float to the top as scum. Repeat 32,000,000 times just to make sure you have accurate data.

The scientists found that another one of their alligator carcasses went missing altogether. On further investigation, the scientists discovered drag marks where they'd left the gator. "Whatever did that had to be huge.

THEY'RE OUT THERE...

They have a limited hunt, picked by lottery. It surprised me, since I thought that their range was limited to the west.

Westbrook - my very first thought too. Some inane grant and some idiot gets it. From US. To do THIS!! It’s gotta stop.

Early and often.

Cthulu hungry.

Wow, the usual suspects. Sharks, isopods, marine worms. I’m pretty sure the same fate has fallen upon things not normally found on the seabed, say humans, for a long time.

Why didn’t they drop a camera down there while they were at it?
