White alligator awes zoo visitors
LITCHFIELD PARK - Carrie Beletz took a step forward as a 4½-foot white alligator approached her through mucky water. But this sixth-grader was not afraid.
Instead, Carrie, a student at Sahuaro Elementary School in Phoenix, pressed her face to the glass at Wildlife World Zoo to get a better look at a creature she had never seen before.
"That's cool," she said. "But I wouldn't want to feed it."
he rare white alligator is Arizona's first and is on display at the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield Park until May 1. Only a handful of white alligators exist in the world and are usually found throughout the Southeastern United States. White alligators are albino, meaning they lack normal pigmentation. Their lack of coloration prevents them from camouflaging themselves in the wild, often creating challenges for survival, said Wildlife World Zoo founder and director Mickey Ollson.

Dead man gets parking ticket
An elderly man has been found dead in the car park of a Melbourne shopping centre with a parking ticket attached to the windscreen of his car.
The man was found dead at the wheel of his car at Croydon in Melbourne's east.
The man is believed to have been dead for several days but a parking ticket was placed on his car two days before his body was discovered.
The Mayor of Maroondah City Council, Paul Denham, has apologised for the incident.
"It's just tragic," he said. "It must be just so sad for the family and we extend our sincere sympathies to them.
"The circumstances surrounding the location of this poor fellow must make it all the harder for the family.
"It is simply a case of the parking officer not noticing," he added.
The man's name has not been released and a report is being prepared for the coroner.

How much alcohol have you consumed?
Have you ever wondered just quite how much you’ve managed to drink in your lifetime? Or how much it might have cost you?
You have? Well, you should probably get out more, but instead why not take our test to calculate the state of your kidneys, wallet and quantity of alcohol you have consumed over the years?
My results are at right. In all honesty, I’ve probably consumed less than that.

Las Vegas mayor wants to de-thumb graffiti artists on live TV
(AP) - Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman has suggested that those who deface freeways with graffiti should have their thumbs cut off on television.
Goodman, appearing Wednesday on the ``Nevada Newsmakers'' television show, said, ``In the old days in France, they had beheading of people who commit heinous crimes.
``You know, we have a beautiful highway landscaping redevelopment in our downtown. We have desert tortoises and beautiful paintings of flora and fauna. These punks come along and deface it.
``I'm saying maybe you put them on TV and cut off a thumb,'' the mayor added. ``That may be the right thing to do.''
Goodman also suggested that whippings or canings should be brought back for children who get into trouble.
``I also believe in a little bit of corporal punishment going back to the days of yore, where examples have to be shown,'' Goodman said.
``I'm dead serious,'' said Goodman, adding, ``Some of these (children) don't learn. You have got to teach them a lesson, and this is coming from a criminal defense lawyer.''
``They would get a trial first,'' he added.
Another panelist on the show, Howard Rosenberg, a state university system regent, responded by saying that cutting off the thumbs of taggers won't solve the problem and Goodman should ``use his head for something other than a hat rack.''

Arkansas man kills deer with his bare hands...in his bedroom
BENTONVILLE, Ark. (AP) - For 40 exhausting minutes, Wayne Goldsberry battled a buck with his bare hands in his daughter's bedroom.
Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter's home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay dead on the bedroom floor, its neck broken.
Goldsberry was at his daughter's home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the deer.
"I was standing about like this peeking around the corner when the deer came out of the bedroom," said Goldsberry. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom - "jumping back and forth across the bed."
Goldsberry entered the bedroom to confront the deer and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. Goldsberry finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it.
Goldsberry, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house.
"He got kicked several times. He was walking bowlegged for a while," Deputy Doug Gay said.
At this time of year, a buck that sees its reflection in a window often charges, believing it is fighting off a rival, Gay said.
Goldsberry intended to have the deer processed for its meat.

Busch Stadium demolition
Here is a picture taken on October 27, 2005. Almost all the seats have been removed and are being shipped to their purchasers. You can see groups of seats sitting on the field and outside the stadium ready to be packed. In just a few weeks the old stadium will meet with the wrecking ball to make way for the new Busch Stadium growing into the area from the top of the picture. It looks a lot smaller than the old stadium.
Thanks Phyllis

Once upon a time.......
At the end of a tiny deserted bar in downtown Atlanta sat a huge black man. He was having a few beers, when a short, well dressed, and obviously gay man walked in and sat beside him.
After three or four beers, the gay man got the courage to say a few words to the big black man.
Leaning over towards him, he whispered, "Do you want a blow job?" At this, the massive black man leaped up with fire in his eyes, and smacked the shit out of the gay man, knocking him swiftly off his stool. He proceeded to beat him all the way out of the bar, before leaving him bruised and battered in the parking lot, and returning to his seat Amazed, the bartender quickly brought over another beer to the black man, and said, "I've never seen you react like that. What did he say to you?
"I don't know," the black man replied. " Something about a job."
Thanks Phyllis

Mothers against peeing standing up
MYTH: "Men can pee standing up"
Fact: The reality is men can NOT pee standing up without getting as much as a stray drop on the seat or the outside surface of the toilet. Fragmentation of the urine stream causes particles of urine to dissipate. The larger the distance urine has to travel, the bigger the dissipation radius gets.
Some of you may say, "No, not me! I can pee through a donut from 40 feet above!" Well, mister hand-eye coordination, you are probably one of those people who also never ask for directions. Admitting that you have a problem is half the battle. At some point in your life you need to ask yourself, "Is it worth it? What has peeing standing up cost me in my life?"
Take a stand!…errr…. I mean – Take a SEAT

How to kill a VCR
What we did
We destroyed my old video recorder, by putting food and detergent into it, letting kids use it as a skateboard, smashing it with hammers, dipping it into a lake, attacking it with an axe and a crowbar, running over it with a car, and finally blowing it up.Why
Because over the years, that VCR has been unreliable almost from when I bought it new. It had problems causing interference to TV signals, it chewed tapes, it scratched tapes, it got tapes stuck in it, and it broke down. And no matter how often it got serviced for these things, it did them again.Eventually, I replaced it, but I decided that it wouldn't go to Cash Converters or be given away - I have no wish for someone else to be annoyed by it. And it wouldn't go in the bin. I would have my own back for years of frustration. I would have revenge. I would destroy it.

Apparently I'm a centrist
I always wondered what I was. I never knew if I was a liberal or conservative.
CENTRISTS espouse a "middle ground" regarding government control of the economy and personal behavior. Depending on the issue, they sometimes favor government intervention and sometimes support individual freedom of choice.
Centrists pride themselves on keeping an open mind, tend to oppose "political extremes," and emphasize what they describe as "practical" solutions to problems.
