You gotta love the headlines
Following a fox Orlando article about new penalties for paying utility bills online were the two headlines shown below.
#1 proves beyond any doubt to many fox 35 viewers that some evil force or forces “forced” this poor old woman to parade around an alligator pond with her dog
1. 85-year-old Florida woman killed by alligator was 'forced' to walk dog near 'dangerous' pond, attorneys say
Saw that in the article I linked. I don't believe there was only the one option for dog walking. Plus, it would have been a hazard known to her and the family. Why no action to resolve the supposed issue over the
decades?
and article #2 explains how a group of roaches banded together to force the closure of a restaurant
2. Live roaches force Central Florida restaurant to temporarily close: inspection report
Go roaches

Have you seen a snake and guinea pig playing 'Crack the Whip'?

She smacked her poor guinea pig into the green plastic thing, TWICE. Fortunately it was empty.

A 12-year-old Australian girl saved her pet guinea pig from the jaws of a six-foot long snake by swinging it above her head “like a hammer thrower”....
Mr Whitman then snatches the snake and hurls it across the lawn, after which it slithers away.
“To be honest, I only grabbed it because it was in Rosie’s hands. I was like, ‘if a 12 year-old, my daughter, can hold it, so can I,’” he told 9News.
“I just had to jump in. It was just instinct, to try and get rid of the danger. It was an absolutely insane moment,” he added.
“I chased after it and watched it slither away unhurt, although a little dizzy.”
... Rosie said she was not “scared” or “fazed” by the incident, adding she would do anything to protect her beloved Maxibon.
“It was pretty full on though,” she said of the ordeal.
Her “terrified but proud ” parents, however, warned their daughter against taking matters into her own hands should she have a similar encounter in the future.
“We’re so grateful you’re fine but next time, step away. We’ll buy you two more pigs,’” Mrs Whitman told the 12-year-old.
“It was pretty full on though.”
There you are, GoCubsGo, to conquer Australia you just have to evoke your inner 12-year-old girl.
