Thousands of caimans escape from farm BARRANQUILLA (EFE)

More than 1,000 crocodile-like caimans, some as big as a man, escaped from a farm in the northern province of Atlántico after heavy rains caused the Magdalena River to overflow, Colombian authorities said Wednesday.

The incident occurred Tuesday night in the town of Palmar de Varela, near Barranquilla, Mayor Adalberto Rúa told Caracol Radio.

He added that the river’s waters were now infested with the caimans, which measure from 30 centimeters to 2 meters in length.

“According to what the farm’s owner told us, among the specimens that were lost are caimans more than two meters in length, which could represent a danger

You took the words right out

#31, Rick The Caiman Master's all-seeing eye is...you know....seeing all. He knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake.

I found a trout duct taped to my front door this morning. So, yes, Code Vermillion. I am just following proper protocol.

The hatch to the hollow earth hide out tunnel beneath Danger Room tends to stick a bit, I suggest use of a good swift boot kick to center of door to straighten that right out. Remember to bring The Book and for god's sake, don't tell anyone.
