Got this in an email. Don't know how true it is, but it looked cool! This
picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake
Wiessabout , 90 miles north of Birmingham , Alabama !
This
alligator was found between Centre and Leesburg , Alabama
near a house! Game wardens were forced to shoot the alligator -
guess he wouldn't cooperate... |

28ft.!! That's hard to imagine. Even lookin at the pic it's sureal. I have mixed feeling about it though. I wouldn't want a monster like that living where I spent much time, but at the same time It's a shame such fantastic animals can't be left alone.
I wonder if they found Cpt. Hook's hand in there? Edited by Sgt. D - December/24/2008 at 20:50 |

What a shame they had to kill him! He's as big as the biggest Nile crocodile.....( well, who knows?? )
Down along the Gulf Coast of Texas the police get called out periodically to get a gator out of the middle of the road somewhere..........blocking traffic.

I've seen the bottom photo about 5 different times...each time the gator is in a different place and each time he grows a foot or two. And with him in the foreground, it's impossible to tell how big he is.

The pictures of swimming gator are real, but taken somewhere aroung George/South Carolina border.
The gator is estimated to be around 12 foot long or thereabouts. ILya |

mar 2005, liver cancer sad day for me, i cried like a little kid when i found out. i had seen him in concert about a year before that and he seemed as good as ever, and they dont come any better, i remember when i was a junior in high school, we made it to state basketball that year, we played at the 2A level, and kaycee (chris's town) made it there too in a different class 1A and we watched them play cause his son will was playing then too, and chris was at the casper events center with his family and nobody bothered him, i watched him the whole game and never once did i see anybody come bother him for a picture or an autograph, they knew to leave him be. class act will be missed

Pure fiction..I live 10 minutes from where they were supposed to have taken that photo, I know these lands as well as any man alive, and the biggest gator I have ever seen around here, was MAYBE a 10 footer.
My wife is a Graphic Designer, she looked at the photo of the gator hanging, and confirmed it was photoshopped, albiet well.
SNOPES offers final confirmation. http://www.snopes.com/photos/animals/gatordeer.asp

u can look a @ a gator and measure from the end of his snout to his eyes, how ever many in's that is turn it into feet that's pretty close to how long he is. like this 23in = 23 footer give or take.
Yeah rifle don't feel bad i just learned of Chris myself just last week. i feel dumb for it. lol Edited by hunterwingler - August/14/2009 at 13:35 |

I wasn't upset about the black cat crossing my path this morning but mouthing "your fu@#ed" as he passed was just rude.
