t Know Why Its Fight Song Blares From an Empty Building in Niagara Falls[/url][/b]<br><br>
January 27, 2016 by Andy Thomason<br><br>
A University of Iowa spokesman said on Tuesday that he had “no clue†why the universityâ€s fight song is being played, week after week, in a vacant building in Niagara Falls, N.Y. The mystery was first reported by the Niagara Gazette, which says the song has been repeated on a loop, for several hours at a time, on “most nights for roughly six months.â€<br><br>
The Gazette quoted a local business owner as saying that he had no idea why the music plays, and that his customers had complained. The buildingâ€s owner, Thunderfalls LLC, did not return the newspaperâ€s requests for comment.<br><br>
The Associated Press reported that the chef at a nearby restaurant said hearing the fight song is “torture.â€<br><br>
The Gazette reported on Tuesday that the Niagara Falls police are now investigating.<br><br>
On Wednesday, Tom Moore, a university spokesman, said in an email that officials had “asked around, but so far, everyone here is mystified. We do not have an Alumni Association group in the area, although we know there are Hawkeye fans everywhere.†He added that the university does not hold the rights to the anthem.</blockquote> -

Joshua James, 24, was arrested Monday and charged with assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill after Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation officials say he threw a 3 1/2-foot-long alligator through a Wendy's drive-through window in Palm Beach County in October. He's also charged with illegally possessing an alligator and petty theft. Bail was set Tuesday at $6,000, and James was ordered to have no contact with animals.<br></p></blockquote> -
<p>Brilliant!</p>

<p>assault with a deadly weapon, without intent to kill? How do they know the alligator wasn't gonna kill anyone?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Is it easier to get a gun licence than an alligator one?</p> -
<p>3.5 foot alligator isn't going to kill you. good bite if you get too close though. </p>
