You Just Gotta Admire Nature: Dogs Attack Gator

Dog Pack Attacks Gator in Florida!

 

At times nature can be cruel, but there is also a raw beauty, and even a certain justice manifested within that cruelty.

 

The alligator, one of the oldest and ultimate predators, normally considered the 'apex predator', can still fall victim to implemented 'team work' strategy, made possible due to the tight knit social structure and 'survival of the pack mentality' bred into the canines.

 

See the remarkable photograph below courtesy of Nature Magazine. Note that the Alpha dog has a muzzle hold on the gator preventing it from breathing, while another dog has a hold on the tail to keep it from thrashing. The third dog attacks the soft underbelly of the gator.

 

Not for the squeamish!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Laughter is good for the soul.

 

Have a Great Day!

Why did Jesus fold his napkin?

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection?
 
The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes.
The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.
Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.
She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved.
She said, "They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!"
Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple out ran Peter and got there first.
He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in. Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside.
He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus head was folded up and lying to the side.
Is that important?
Absolutely! Is it really significant?
Yes!
In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day.
The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition.
When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.
The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table until the master was finished.
Now if the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers and mouth with that napkin and toss it on to the table.
The servant would then know to clear the table.
For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm done."
But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant knew that the folded napkin meant,
"I'm not finished yet." The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!"
 
IF YOU BELIEVE HE IS COMING BACK - PASS IT ON, I DID!

her glass eye

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down, but lacks the nerve to talk with her.

 

Suddenly she sneezes, and her glass eye comes flying out of its socket toward the man. He reflexively reaches out, grabs it out of the air, and hands it back.

 

'Oh my, I am so sorry,' the woman says as she pops her eye back in place.  'Let me buy your dinner to make it up to you,' she says.

 

They enjoy a wonderful dinner together, and afterwards they go to the theater followed by drinks. They talk, they laugh, she shares her deepest dreams and he shares his. She listens.

 

After paying for everything, she asks him if he would like to come to her place for a nightcap and stay for breakfast. They have a wonderful, wonderful time.

 

The next morning, she cooks a gourmet meal with all the trimmings. The guy is amazed. Everything had been SO incredible!

 

'You know, 'he said, 'you are the perfect woman. Are you this nice to every guy you meet? '

 

'No, 'she replies. . . '

 

 

 

 

 

'You just happened to catch my eye.'
