Balls and money/political power. Concerning power and money you could get away with anything just like today, probably even worse since a lot of the regulations we have today weren't in place.

Well her father stirred an uproar when he invited Booker T. Washington to have lunch with him in the White House which was so bad that he was forced to cancel it as it would have been risking political suicide.
Actually he had lunch with him, he just never invited him back, and then felt like an ass about it years later.
[QUOTE=Sprockethead;50432747]It might be cgi, but there is some historical evidence that gators could get that big.
like this fuck, shot by hunters in Australia year 1957.

Also if that's not cgi, those people should be manning their golf carts and booking it, because while they don't look particularly spry, gators can sprint pretty damn fast if they want to catch you.[/QUOTE]
There was one caught in Philippines recently, but died shortly in captivity

Why is that guy poking it in the ass

Temperature probe.

Do you not recognize the oldest, most well known scientific instrument in the study of anything - a poking stick? :v:
[QUOTE=download;50482061]Temperature probe.[/QUOTE]
Not really. A friend of mine had recently visited Thailand and told me that in their zoos they have a show with special guys literally poking alligators to make them move a little bit, because otherwise they would just sit on their asses for hours, making themselves not very interesting for visitors.
[QUOTE=download;50482061]Temperature probe.[/QUOTE]
I'm pretty sure that's just a wooden stick.

Salties are fucking awesome. I love Crocs in general, they're giant, lumbering reptilian brutes. Literally walking dinosaurs.

actually flightless birds are walking dinosaurs but i get your point

Better than that, they diverged before the dinosaurs came about. Very very old creatures. Like sharks. They found a winning formula and stuck with it.

1" 11.6" is for a fucking minecart. That's absurd. :v:
[QUOTE=Recurracy;50489918]they haven't really evolved in all these years, have they?[/QUOTE]
Well yes and no, if the current composition is good enough to where mutations don't out perform and thus reproduce better it can stay pretty similar. Seeing as evolution is a random thing, the only stuff that really seemed to change were adaptions to the changing environment. (For example, smaller versions of these animals started to survive better due to decreasing oxygens levels, and cooling of the Earth meant less plentiful food for a mainly tropical creature such as a crocodile.)
So yes they are evolving, but its much less significant than something at the bottom of the food chain as it already performs well.

They are too lazy to evolve anymore. I mean look at them - they just lay around all day

Minecart track is an example of narrow gauge, it used to be quite common in some areas.

I might be wrong, but I think it was usually used in mountainous areas where normal rail gauges weren't suited without massive(and extremely expensive) construction work.

My dad did a exchange program with the Australian Military, and whilst he had lots of fun doing it he said he got fed up of the Aussies telling him not to do something or go somewhere because of the wildlife (mainly because he felt they were taking the piss sometimes).
Anyhow, towards the end of his trip they were on a drive somewhere, and stopped by a grove of trees, at which point one of the guys he was with told him to be careful and not go in the grove because there were loads of cassowaries living in the area and they could be dangerous. At this point my dad told them to stop taking the piss, and walked up to a bush and kicked it.
Following the laws of comedy a Cassowary then stuck it's head out of the bush and screamed at him and then thankfully ran off, leaving my dad standing there shocked and the two Aussie soldiers he was with roaring with laughter.
