I think I'll wait for Alex's confirmation before I believe this, but apparently, ...[a] slithering, evil-eyed alligator is lurking where New Yorkers least expect it - in an otherwise peaceful lake in Central Park. And like all great media stories, this one provides local New Yorkers with an opportunity to show off their amazing grasp of historical events."It was hysterical - like Napoleon crossing the Delaware or something," one source said, chuckling. Indeed.
I also laughed (cried?) at the blithe display of historical ignorance (Washington, Napoleon, what's the diff? or was that the Rubicon?), but I'm afraid I failed to see the archosaur. Then again, you failed to see this. Does anybody read this stuff?
