WOW!! Komodo Dragon Terrorist! We need to ask Cheney if torture will work on dragons.

1. Who needs torture?

They'll tell you anything for a fresh rabbit.

2. A man and a child dead, boy you picked a good story to make light of.

3. Alert Larry London!!

Really...'attacks'? Yes, they're potentially dangerous and, yes, some unfortunate things have happened but -- as usual with media reports of such things -- the headline and much of the article is blown out of proportion and sensationalized. This bit is revealing, though:

"Gone are the days of goofing around with the lizards, poking their tails, hugging their backs and running in front of them, pretending they're being chased, said Muhamad Saleh, who has worked with the animals since 1987. "

Well...duh. They're wild animals, not toys. Pretending they're being chased? That seems a REALLY good idea...

4. Komodo Dragons are badass creatures.

5. Crude, but effective. nt
