the Fibonacci sequence is another fun sequence of numbers... it's in everything in nature (shells, trees, etc.). Basically- the numbers can give you the most esthetically pleasing results. I use it all the time in my field of work- graphic design. Fun stuff.

I live in Atl. There's alligators here now?!?!? I like that I had to come onto here to find out about it too...

The Fibonacci sequence, golden rectangle, and pi are all related.

My hunting rule of thumb is that if you shoot it or catch it, you'd better have a recipe for it!

Fried gator tail is excellent, but I ain't shooting or skinning it.

Even the ratio of the width to height of all credit cards equals Phi (which is 1 plus the square root of 5 divided by 2). The best website on the subject is http://www.mcs.surrey.ac.uk/Personal/R.Knott/Fibonacci/. Another interesting one regarding the face is http://goldennumber.net/face.htm.

Back on thread. Here's another big gator found in Florida.

That is not a real gator. That looks like Jurasic park or something.

Actually, there's a story about that picture on snopes.com because a lot of people said the same thing.

I hadn't heard that was a fake. Seems like I saw the photo in our local newspaper?

Per Snopes, the gator pictured is a real 13'-1" gator killed by law enforcement. It made snopes because people kept emailing/posting it and exaggerating the size and changing its location.

It just seems like plastic is everywhere. Even all over the beach, water bottles, lids, those juice box straw wrappers,baggies, styrofoam too Why all these tent frames everywhere? Aren't they ugly eye pollution? Is it really that hard to take your sheeet up? It's plastic, ugly , eyesore, beach pollution. Maybe the frames are people's way of claiming their spot. I don't get the pollution thing though. Fines need to be enforced on litter bugs, even buttheads. Don't cars come with ash trays. Anyhow, I'm glad a gator can still manage to find a home. Now as long as no one feeds him/her.

The juice box straw wrappers definitely mate-they're all over my house. My kids pick up after themselves better other places than at home. Outside a store today, my daughter walked out of her way to throw away her trash in the proper place. It was shocking. I'll make sure she keeps it up at the beach.

Do people swim in these lakes? Or just kayak?
