Where was the photo taken, anyway. Was it some kind of a reptile house or something like that.
Marsh's Free Museum in Long Beach, WA. That's "Jake the Alligator Man", a sort of poor man's Feejee Mermaid concocted for the purpose of tourism and Weekly World News headlines.
...And thank you for the compliment, by the way!
BTW: Yes, Glorb, I didn't "get" that line, but did you just reference an old post because nobody else did, either? Don't let what happened to CrossEyed happen to you!
