Ha, I mentioned that because I was actually talking a friend the other day and happened to mention that I find alligators (and crocodiles, and that whole family of creepy reptile water killers) irrationally frightening. And she protested that there was nothing irrational about being afraid of alligators. Which, you know, I had to agree with her, but there are plenty of other animals that are equally dangerous, but which don't particularly worry me.
