Bush administration opposes Democrats' housing rescue plan
OLDSMAR, Fla. - And some people get jittery about mice in the kitchen.

Authorities say 69-year-old central Florida woman found an 8-foot long alligator prowling in her kitchen late Monday night.

Sandra Frosti says the gator must have pushed through the back porch screen door and then went inside through an open sliding glass door at her home in Oldsmar, just north of Tampa. It then apparently strolled through the living room, down a hall and into the kitchen.

A trapper with Animal Capture of Florida removed the alligator, which was cut by a plate that was knocked to the ground during the chaos. But no one inside the house was injured.

uhhh...that's FREAKY. i would pee in my pants if that happened to me. how scary.

I'd be peeing in my pants too!

An 8 ft alligator is capable (and somewhat inclined) to attacking a human. Under 6 ft are juvies and less likely, Fortunately, most alligators have a fear of humans, and the shorter the alligator the more fear. Hope it wasn't an alligator that has been fed by humans, WHICH IS A VERY BAD IDEA . It causes gators to lose their fear of humans and in their brains they begin to see the person as an extension of a "meal". Gross I know but that's how they think. They are primitive and volatile creatures.
