Rebecca Skloot's blog on Science, Writing, and Life.
In the past, I've mentioned that I like living in a city like NYC because it means I don't have to deal with things like quicksand and crocodile-eating pythons. Well, add this to the list of reasons I'll never live in Florida with the alligators.Labels: Animals

Oh no, people DO regularly get run over outside the Empire State Building and everywhere else in New York. It's amazing! In the 3 years I've lived here, I've seen five people get hit by cars (the most recent was yesterday) ... you're right, it's more likely that a car will jump onto the sidewalk and kill you in NYC than it is an alligator will eat you in Florida. But still! Aligators eating people while they're jogging?! That's too much.
