Is an alligator thrown through a drive-through window 'likely to produce death or great bodily harm'? I honestly have no idea. I can say from personal experience that it's safe to walk within a few feet of a sunbathing alligator - the only thing it's likely to do is lie there. But I'm not sure how the alligator's recent experience of being thrown changes that equation. I can equally imagine the alligator becoming more surly, more cowardly, or just confused from the experience. My knowledge of alligator psychology just isn't up to the task of resolving this question.

I thought the bamboo was dead... but part of me hoped I was wrong, that just because the foliage shrivelled up and died, there might still remain some life in the roots. So I kept watering it... but doubts nagged. So I dug it up. To check, you know? Turns out, I was right. It was still alive... except I probably killed it when I dug it up.
