COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The woman attacked and killed by an alligator in a gated community along the South Carolina coast was visiting the homeowner to do her nails and was trying to touch the animal when it grabbed her, authorities said.

After briefly getting away from the alligator Friday, the woman stood in waist deep water in the Kiawah Island pond and said “I guess I wont do this again,” but the alligator grabbed her in its jaws again and took her under, according to a supplemental police report released Tuesday.

I was always amazed at the lackluster response to that by the Catholic church. They had to meet in Rome to figure out what to do?

 

Of course not just limited to the Catholic church. Seems like organized religion draws a disproportionate amount of child predators.

     Bob did so.  "Feel anything?" asked the electrician.

     "No," said Bob.

     "Good!" said the electrician.  "I was wondering which was which.  Now, for God's sake, don't touch that white wire -- it'll kill you!"

This is our second such award this year, yawn man.

At least I can auction the spare one at Sotheby's for a handsome profit.
