<p>A nice piece dismantling David Wolfe and his ilk, in terms of how they insinuate themselves into the lives of otherwise right-thinking people.</p>

<p>This isn't "amazing" so much - but a small, evil part of me, upon seeing this story, thought about those "He was only four days from retirement!" tropes.</p>

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> </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>
-
<p>could kill a kid, plus, am sure in the Alligators mind it is gonna try and kill you, so that's attempted!</p>
-
<p>It's probably not likely to attack anyone, more likely be scared and lash out at anyone that approaches it. </p>
-
<p>but that's how they roll, attack to kill and ultimately eat!</p>

<p>BTW you do realize I am taking the piss?</p> -

It's a cool story, the best part is she had no idea how famous she was amongst the nerd community . There's more about the story in this book <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Bombs-Burgers-Pornography-Technology/dp/0762772743'>http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Bombs-Burgers-Pornography-Technology/dp/0762772743</a>
