<br><font face="sans-serif">Found a dead, bloated 100 lb Alligator
Snapping Turtle in a lake in Florida. Strapped it to the top of my Jeep
and drove all the way back to Kansas. Upon arrival (3 days later), I made
one of my undergraduate student assistants clean the carcass and prepare
it for being skeletonized. GROSS is an understatement!!</font>
