This morning, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something moving on my couch. But this was no ordinary New York City bug-in-the-apartment nightmare. It was a baby lizard, sitting next to me, enjoying the soft cushion of the couch I spent two months debating whether or not to buy, and frankly, I’m not sure what to do about it.
Here is a video of an Australian goanna lizard that has climbed up a telephone pole to eat a rabbit. It is eating the rabbit whole and there is nothing the rabbit can do but quietly accept its fate. Hoppy Easter, everybody!
"It was the craziest thing," said Robin Sandusky, 31, who before yesterday afternoon used to be a person like you who never ate a salad with a lizard head in it. "After a few bites, I look down at my fork, and think, 'Oh, is that a piece of asparagus?' And then I saw that it had eyes, and an arm."
Researchers have found that merely by manipulating whether or not a newborn common lizard gets fed right away, they can change the entire trajectory of the lizard's subsequent life and behavior. Obviously this also applies to human children, which means that by the time you start sending them to test prep for preschool admissions, you've already missed your chance. Better give them away and start over.
A kid this young - it's not his fault. However, if you hit a lizard one too many times, it's going to retaliate. If the first 51 seconds disturb you, the last 10 will not!
In 2003, Monserrate Luna boarded a flight in NYC headed to San Juan, Puerto Rico. When she bit into her chicken meal, she says, there was a lizard in it. She sued. We got a copy of her insanity-inducing deposition.
A newsman loses his cool after a lizard affixes itself to his leg during a segment on reptiles.
