Man or Lizard???

 

Born Eric Sprague in 1972, the Lizardman was one of the first people to have a split tongue, some say he's the one who made it popular. This 37 year old man has transformed himself into a reptile. These looks do not come easy, or cheap for that matter. He's had 700 hours of tattooing, five Teflon horns implanted beneath the skin of his eyebrows, filing down of his teeth into sharp fangs, bifurcation (splitting) of his tongue, and stretching of his septum and earlobes. He is a registered "freak" (as tattooed on his chest), and spends his time performing numerous sideshow acts (sword swallowing, fire eater/breather, walks beds of nails, and an act known as "blockhead"). You may see him from time to time, on his many highly paid tv and personal appearances, but be slow to judge. As the age-old saying goes: "Do not judge a book by its cover," no truer words could ever be spoken. On the surface, you see a Circus Act...but looks may be deceiving. In reality, before he was a "lizardman", Eric is actually a PhD. and attended the University of Albany where he went on to attain his Bachelor's of Arts degree in Philosophy. So, remember to be slow to judge, because you never know who people REALLY are.

Cabins on the sailing currently start at $890 per person. Although, if you do not participate in it, feel free to enjoy your 7 night cruise, sailing the western carribean. The regular trip includes destinations such as Jamaica, Mexico, and even to a private destination in Haiti, set aside especially for Royal Carribean's cruise line.

Go Fish?

Greg Bernal, an unemployed land-surveyor, and his girlfriend Janet Momphard, were fishing the Missouri River near the Columbia Bottom Conservation Area when the fish struck around 1 a.m. Tuesday. It would take the pair nearly a half-hour to heave the fish into their boat after reeling it in. The monster was caught on a 40 lb test line and a filet of Asian Carp was used for bait. This fish beat the previous record held in 2005 by 6 lbs.
