In yet another striking reminder that one should never ever smoke crack and sleep naked by a swamp, Adrian Apgar has lost an arm to a gator by doing that very thing.

Of course it happened in Florida, and of course it is really big news in the gator obsessed state. In their extensive coverage, the Orlando Sentinel gives the in-depth story ("There's a guy screaming bloody murder over here, 'Help' in front of the Moose Lodge," Mayid said. "I can hear him from inside my house... He's screaming 'Help, help, help, help.' "), AND includes a Photo Gallery, AND a map of the location, AND a photo of the victim, AND a video of the gator's capture, AND a mp3 of the 911 call, AND a long video of the Polk County Police's gator related press conference, which includes this startling snippet from the chief:

I asked the deputy, 'well, about how big would you say the gator was', and he said "about the size of a school bus".

Jeez, I would never smoke crack again. At least not naked. Or at least I wouldn't smoke it naked and go to sleep. In front of the Moose Lodge. By the swamp.
