Life imitates art, again

As far as I am concerned, the fact that an alligator can bite my arm off is yet another reason for me to never, ever, go golfing.
A man who lost his ball in a golf course pond in Florida nearly lost an arm when an 3.3m alligator bit him and pulled him in.
Bruce Burger, 50, was playing the sixth hole, which has a "Beware of Alligator" sign posted nearby.
"Unfortunately, that's part of Florida," course general manager Rod Parry said.
"There's wildlife in these ponds."
Burger managed to free himself by beating the alligator with his other arm, said Gary Morse, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
