BagOfCrisps 24 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Maybe a bit too ambitious! "An unusual clash between a 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida's swamps. The Burmese python tried to swallow its fearsome rival whole but then exploded." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/4313978.stm Link to post Share on other sites

boardbaka 3 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 "He said that there had been four known encounters between the two species in the past. In the other cases, the alligator won or the battle was an apparent draw. " This is technically a draw as well though isn't it? Link to post Share on other sites

nzlegend 1 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 funny you should say that as both my Grandmothers were very fond of that saying too! they frequently warned me as I loaded up my dessert plate especially at Xmas dinners.....and more often than not they would have to retract it and pull out another idiom "you got hollow legs!"
