- ... think of was, "when is this story going to be over?" I remember having a highly active imagination as a child but this is ridiculous.

The last time I ever saw anything close to that was when I was 10 years old and I saw G.I.Joe's crawling up and down my walls at night.

After four or five months, such degeneration may be quite well along, so that even if you initiate a program of vigorous exercise, you may have to wait up to a year for the joint's normal motion to return.

- 17199: American Alligator
- ... Small captives will do well on small animals (e.g.. goldfish, insects, or mice.)

Humans as usual are a threat to any type of ...
