American alligators are native to India, Africa, & Australia.

The ones we get here are called crocodiles  :wink:

U-shaped snout = Alligator
V-shaped snout = Crocodile
I-shaped snout = Gavial

It's not that hard, unless you include caimans. They look like an alligator with an extra ridge on their snout.



Back to bad movies...

Tigers are native to Africa.
Kookaburras are native to every jungle worldwide.

You've just robbed a bank and an armored car with your clean cut biker buddies everything goes south you have a pick up full of stolen loot do you get in the gassed up truck and leave no you load up your saddlebags with cash and try to escape on your hog only to be shot by the sheriff never mind that the pickup had enough cash in the bed to buy you three hogs and in speaking of bikers it appears that fat scruffy looking old biker can pass off as a state trooper and fool the armored car guards by pulling his hat over his eyes.

I have learned in bad movies that you can tell how low the budget is by how many cars explode when they crash. If only one explodes, when more than one crashes, the budget was not all that low.   You get the idea from here..right?

All scuba diving gear comes with under water two way radios, even if it's physically impossible to talk, because you have a scuba diving regulator stuck in your mouth............

In zero gravity, people still walk; they just walk funnily, sliding their feet & undulating their bodies as they move.

Do not keep a snake pit in your hidden laboratory. It is an accident waiting to happen.

Same goes for shark pits, crocodile pits, lava pits, bottomless pits, etc.

I just watched a YouTube video showing Richard Branson and his guests flopping around in zero G like floaty fishes in low earth orbit aboard his VSS Unity; nothing slow motion about that. Why do they float in zero G slow motion in movies anyway?

If being stalked by a knife-wielding maniac it is important to look for other people and then immediately split up to look for more people. Presumably if you find them you would then split up again to go look for the original person you'd met but I don't think I've ever seen anyone make it that far yet.

It helps to watch a really bad movie with others. I speak from experience, I watched Gymkata in the theatre (full house). :teddyr:

I can only imagine the general reaction in the theater of the infamous top-down view of Cabot's junk during his handstand walk down a flight of stairs.  :teddyr:

Most peeps in that audience went "Ewww" to that as well as the scene where the guy in a cloak turns around showing his naked backside to everyone.  :buggedout: :wink:

I should have added: "Watch a really bad movie with all of YOU." I will learn things, many things. :wink:
