No Even Suspects The Goanna

Left: Looking like a science fiction monster with an appetite for radioactive waste, a three-feet long Gould's Goanna prowls the trash dumpster at Mt. Nebo, Queensland, AU, and skeers the bejeebers out of me!


Minnesota Senator gets clobbered:

"Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) returned to Capitol Hill this week with a prominent gash on his forehead after he was knocked nearly unconscious back home in St. Paul while -- of all things -- dumpster diving," the Washington Post's Mary Ann Akers reported....

Coleman told Akers he was "looking for something that my wife accidentally threw in the dumpster."

... Adds Akers, "He was vague about what exactly whacked him in the head. (His office explained later that it was 'a piece of wood.') But whatever it was, the impact was so hard that he 'saw stars.'"
